High school students contemplating jumping on board with an offline or online college degree, are quickly faced with the dilemma of how they will be able to afford paying for their traditional or online education.

Some students get discouraged early in the process and start pondering whether they should just put off their on-campus or distance learning program ambitions. But that?s not really not the course of action you want to take.

As you grow older and responsibilities multiply around you, it will become a lot more difficult to find the time for a college degree online or offline.? What?s more, if you have ambitions for a successful career, getting an on-campus or online college degree is essential to this endeavor.

So we suggest you try and get over your fears and start looking at what can you do in order to be able to pay for your on-campus or online education.

There are many ways in which you can reduce the costs of an on-campus or distance learning program.

For example, you might want to consider online schools. A college degree online is overall less expensive than a traditional one. On top of that, if you still find you need help, online schools are also home to scholarship programs.

Even if you?re not eligible to apply to these scholarships, students enrolled with a college degree online or offline shouldn?t lose hope. You can always get funding for your traditional or distance learning program via private sources.

Students of traditional or online schools should start searching for scholarships online, as soon as they decide they want to get a higher offline or online education.

It also helps if you know your major. There are a lot of scholarship programs targeted at students who are pursuing a certain career. So if you already know your calling in life, incorporate that into your search.

For example, if you?re enrolled with an offline or online college degree in accounting, you might be interested to apply Frank L. Greathouse Government Accounting Scholarship. The program is opened to students at offline or online schools working towards full-time graduate or upper level undergraduate degree.

The scholarship is awarded on a number of criteria including career plans in the field, past academic record and work experience, as well as demonstrated connection between coursework and career plans.

The application should include at least a letter of recommendation from one who can speak about the candidate?s commitment to the public sector.

Two scholarships are awarded yearly under the program, each worth $10,000. The deadline for applying to the Frank L. Greathouse Government Accounting Scholarships is January 26, every year. This year, the deadline has passed, but you?ll be able to submit applications again next year.
