Yes, I have and I would love to take classes but money is tight and our local community college only offers photography work shops and financial aid won't cover these classes. I am very seriously considering going back to take some Photoshop classes though.

You might be able to get a non-degree grant to take a workshop like they offer at your local college.

Really? I've never heard of this..... I will google that!

Financial aid is very easy to come by these days. Especially if money is tight. What city are you in?

Look into it

I luck out our community Ed classes end up costing like $40 not that bad

If I didn't have the GI Bill, I would have had school completely paid for via TA

It's not that I don't qualify, financial aid typically doesn't cover non-degree courses.

Sure it does.

My wife received full financial aid for a 10 month cosmetology school.

No. The OP is right. You cannot get US federal financial aid unless you are more than 1/4 time and a declared student (you have a declared major) at an accredited college, university or trade program. It also would nt make sense to enroll in college for federal aid unless you plan to graduate as it can screw up your eligibility later on.

True. But states usually offer types of aid but it varies. My state offers non-degree grants. But that is state funded not federally funded.

I don't think it would necessarily screw up financial aid eligibility later unless you took out loans and defaulted on them. I got a 2 year degree from a community college transferred to the University of Vermont and dropped out after a year. 6 years later I applied to another university - got accepted and had no issues with the financial aid. Most classes can be used in a degree program. If someone was to take 2 full years of just random electives and then decided to go for a bachelors that would screw them. They would run out of aid before they were able to finish.

Ballistics - cosmetology would be considered a type of trade school I believe.

It's not that big of a deal, but you may need to request an extension if you run out of eligible credits. Usually it's a song and dance, you fill out a form, you go to a dozen offices and collect signatures and you get it granted. But I don't know all the details and what those financial aid officers at doing behind the scenes, but the worst thats going to happen is you'll just have o pay for a few credits out of pocket. I'm pretty sure you're still eligible for loans even if you are over your limit.

Another concern would be to ensure you get at least passing grades otherwise you cold end up on financial aid probation. So if you're getting aid, make sure to commit yourself.

Do a keyword search for Winston under my username. You might be surprised what you'll find.

Wow great follow up! The only thing in focus at 1.8 is the very front of the shaker. And even that is a soft.

Glad to see you're trying to stay on top of things.

You can clearly see that f/1.8 is the softest focus of the lot. .......

This is wrong completely. I'm living proof. I completed 2 semesters as a non-matriculated student, I literally just declared a major like 3 weeks go. All non-matriculated students are classified under general studies anyway. I applied for financial aid in April of 2011 and was approved in May of 2011 as a non-matriculated student. Furthermore, my local BOCES offers courses like photography which can be covered by TA. I did it myself. I applied for and was approved for a welding course, but was never able to attend. You don't have to "plan" to do anything when you enroll in college. People attend community colleges all the time, stop going, and then go back later and have no complications.

Taking it a step further,The Pell Grant is paid out by less than half, half, 3/4 and full time. One course constitutes as less than half, and you can receive up to $1,340 to attend a course.

Edit: I received my first installment of financial aid which included TAP and Pell which came to around $4000 in the beginning of October of 2011. I declared my major mid December.
