A workshop to help nontraditional students discover and apply for scholarships will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct 8. Stephanie Conrad, private scholarship coordinator, will present information on the variety of scholarships available for nontraditional students in the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Donaghey Student Center, Ledbetter Hall, Room B. She will be joined by Wendy Lyons and Miguel Alvarez, two nontraditional students at 糖心Vlog传媒LR who have earned several scholarships.

She says many adult learners simply don鈥檛 know how to address the challenge of finding free money for school, or they assume it is not available for them. 鈥淚t can be daunting,鈥� Alexander said. 鈥淏ut the money is out there if the student is willing to put in the effort.鈥� People and businesses often prefer to give money to nontraditional students because they are generally a great investment, according to Alexander. 鈥淭hey want to know that the student will be able to pay it forward. And these students almost always will.鈥� For more information on scholarship opportunities for nontraditional students, contact Alexander at 501.569.3308.
