Have you entertained thoughts of going back to school to get a degree or to complete a degree program you started previously, but dismissed the idea because you thought you were too old to go back to school?

College is not just for recent high school grads or the twenty-something crowd. College is for anyone interested in higher education, self improvement, personal development, and self empowerment.

Going back to school at 40+ may seem scary at the start, but the truth is, you are never too old to go back to school. Returning to school as a mature adult may require some sacrifices that may stretch you beyond your comfort zone, but it may also prove to be one of the best decisions you've ever made in your life.

In 2007, a 95 year old woman by the name of Nola Ochs, became the world's oldest college graduate. She earned a degree in General Studies from Fort Hays State University.

The second oldest college graduate in the world is Mozelle Richardson. She received a degree in journalism at the age of 95 years from the University of Oklahoma in 2004.

If these women mustered the gumption to go back to school, so can you. Don't be discouraged. Be inspired. Think of all of the possibilities. Weigh the pros and cons.

Going back to school is an opportunity to:

1. Change Careers.

2. Earn more money.

3. Acquire new skills.

4. Acquire new skills.

5. Change Careers.

6. Change Careers.

7. Expand your personal and professional network.

8. Achieve educational goals.

9. Accomplish educational goals.

10. Set an example for children/grandchildren.

The more you know, the more you grow, education is key to living life abundantly.

There are numerous programs and scholarships for non traditional students. For instance, mature women 40 and over, may apply for the AARP Foundation Women's Scholarship Program. For more information visit www.aarpfoundationwlc.org
