7. College is already at least partially covered without loans

After retirement I reentered college to gather some skills for unmet goals. I saw a thing about F.S.F.A. And started signing up. Having completed it I am getting a California Promise Grant that cuts my fees in half. If I was taking a full load I could get up to $2500.00 and a Pell Grant for another $5300. I am lower middle class. It can be done, people. People seem to just pass it over or think too difficult not going there. It’s a hell of a lot easier than feeling the entire system needs to be changed. Pell’ s are federal if your state doesn’t give grants. They’re there to be had.
