Howdy everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before. My boyfriend (he’s 25) is going back to college as a newbie. He tried once in 2017 but didn’t make it through. Now, he’s trying for financial help with a Pell grant. But those are tough to get, so I’m looking for scholarships he might get. Since he’s not fresh outta high school, I’m not sure what’s out there for him. Any tips would be awesome!

That is thoughtful of him.
He should not be discouraged because there are different scholarships that cover adult learners. The scholarships include:

  • Ford Opportunity Program Scholarship: Aimed at parents or students 25 years or older pursuing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree
  • Executive Women International ASIST Scholarship: For adults in transition, whether it’s physical, social, or economic, pursuing a certification or degree.
  • Return2College Scholarship
  • BigFuture Scholarship by The College Board
    And many more.
    Let your boyfriend join college and himself because the above scholarships got him covered.

She said that she is looking for options for her boyfriend. I do not see the reason why you should recommend Executive Women International Asist Scholarship. It clearly indicates that it is for women
