Financial aid for second-bachelor degree students

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi, I apologize if this information is somewhere on this forum but it's somewhat specific.</p>

<p>I am finishing up my master's degree and am planning on continuing my education by going backwards and getting a second B.S. in environmental/hydraulic engineering (it's impossible to get a PhD in engineering when my background is in environmental sciences, so that's why I'm opting for the B.S.).</p>

<p>Anyhow, financial aid is a bit of a worry. Does anyone know of any resources that could help out a second B.S. seeking student such as myself? I assume it will be harder for me to get financial aid. What kind of loans should I be investigating? Any help would be appreciated. I've never had to deal with taking out loans (my father paid for my undergraduate schooling and I was paid to go to grad school), so I'm pretty naive with all of this.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I believe if you haven’t maxed out your Stafford loans that those would be available.</p>

<p>Can you get a job at the university where you would like to enroll? Most offer educational benefits to staff members. It would take longer for you to finish your degree, but you might not have to pay for any of it.</p>

<p>Older D got a second bachelors, and it was exactly as emeraldkity said. She used Stafford loans until she hit the max.</p>
