Money for College/ HR

On Planet College Average Students are almost constantly seeking money. Grants, loans, work, borrowing, the sources can be numerous but the quest is always the same. Money, more money. Here is a source you may not have explored.

The Human Resources office of any of your employers. Most students with more than one employer never think that each of these concerns is organized as a business. Part of the organization is almost certainly a department which administers hiring and benefits. That department, probably referred to as HR, Human Resources, may be a resource for money for school. Many companies even modest-sized companies have educational assistance programs for their employees. Ask your supervisor at work, check the employee handbook find the HR 800 number and ask. Call and ask. "Hey, I'm a student,do you have any money for me?" See if they can help. Make the call, fill out the form, do the follow up. Do the follow through and maybe, get some money.

There's more.
You may be eligible for help through one of your parent's employers. Same deal. One large national pharmacy chain with thousands of employees administers a scholarship program for the children of their employees. Even if you are a full grown adult who hasn't lived at home for some time you may still be eligible of such a program. Ask either on or both of your parent's if you can check out their employee handbook. As stated above call the company. Ask about any programs they may have. There may be more money in it for you. Good luck.
