Many dads returning to school do not want to take the route of a four-year college, but would rather get trained in a technical field at a vocational school within a few years and be able to work right away. And since the field of mechanics, be it auto, motorcycle, or marine, is largely dominated by the male gender, then this may be the perfect career for you.
The Universal Technical Institute has Scholarships for Dads who want to get trained in the field of automotive, motorcycle, or marine mechanics, available.
One such scholarship is the Albert A. Cabito Scholarship program. This scholarship offers an award of $2000. To qualify, you must have filled out the FAFSA and be enrolled in courses at UTI. The deadline for this scholarship is either: July 31, October 31, January 31 or April 30.
There are also private Scholarships for Dads, such as the Automotive Hall of Fame Scholarship. To be eligible for this scholarship you must be accepted at an accredited college, university or trade school within the United States at the time of application (trade school should equal a two-year associate program), be a United States citizen or in the United States on a Student Visa. enrolled full-time, and have 3.0 GPA or higher.

Scholarships for dads can sometimes be few and far between, but the Philo Club in Loveland Colorado is offering scholarships to residents of Loveland or Berthoud to anyone, adult or student, who wants are interested in a technical/vocational school (2-year or less degree/certificate) only. This is not open to anyone wanting to attend a 4-year college or university.
Since very few organizations offer scholarships that are limited to only those students wanting to pursue a 2-year degree and the Philo Club feels that this type of work is abundant, is only makes sense to offer these scholarships for dads, adults, and students. A few examples of scholarships include training in automotive repair, mechanics, cosmetology, certified nurse assistant, retail merchandising, childcare professions, police and firemen courses, paralegal certification, and business courses.
In order to qualify to apply for this vocational scholarship, you must have a career goal in mind, show financial need, be strongly motivated, and of course be a resident of Loveland or Berthoud.
Applications MUST be postmarked by March 26, 2010. To find out more information about the vocational scholarships for dads, go here.
Texas Tech University offers merit-based scholarships, need-based scholarships, and scholarships from outside the school.

There is also a scholarship that will allow a non-resident student to be eligible to pay in-state tuition rates if he or she receives an institutional competitive scholarship or merit-based scholarship award or awards totaling at least $1,000 for the academic year and/or summer for which the student is enrolled.
Deadline for Spring semester is January 15th. To find out more go here.
