I am trying to find money for the Kaiser Permanente School of Allied Health. They have financial aid for their programs that are 24 months, but not for their short-term classes. I wouldn’t be able to get a school loan from a bank because it’s not going towards a 2 or 4 year degree. All I need is 2,000 dollars for the phlebotomy short term class. Any ideas? Grants or scholarships I’m not seeing?

Depending on your gender, age, and ethnic origin, there might be something for you. I know that often women over 25, especially any race other than caucasian have a good shot at "no questions asked" grants and scholarships.

If the school has a financial aid office, I’d start by checking there.
