For anyone interested in potentially going back to school - if you are 25 or older and have not earned a Bachelors degree, check out Fast Track. It is a grant program (money you don’t have to pay back) in MO for adult students and covers tuition & fees. You can use it at OTC, MSU, or other public college/universities in Missouri. You can find out more info here: https://students.otc.edu/fasttrack/

If money is the thing keeping you from going back to school, it’s a good time to look at options! There may be options out there to help pay for school you aren’t aware of!

You got some great advice in here. When you apply (it’s free - www.otc.edu/apply) an admissions counselor that will reach out to you and help guide you through the process. Be sure to call or email them back for help. They want to help!!!

Also, you may be eligible for Fast Track which would cover the cost of your tuition & fees. Here is the website with more information: https://students.otc.edu/fasttrack/ Your admissions counselor can tell you more about this as well!

Were you able to get the help you needed for your hair? I just saw this post and I’d be willing to see about getting you some help if needed.

I agree she’d be considered homeless. Springfield Public Schools has a Homeless Liaison that would be a good place to start for her to get enrolled and she can contact them without involving her parents. The number is (417) 523-7587. https://www.sps.org/Page/2436

Also, I would check out the Middle College at OTC (Ozarks Technical Community College). That might be a good fit for her. You could also give them a call and talk with them and/or the homeless liaison could provide more info. 417-447-6997. https://academics.otc.edu/middlecollege

Thank you for taking the time to care for her. Wishing you all the very best!
