With all the time and attention you devote to your family, adding college into the mix can seem like an absurd impossibility. Yet in some cases, you might find it necessary in order to better provide for your children and develop yourself as a human being. Fortunately, there are many online options available that allow you to get higher education on your own terms without the sacrifice of attending a traditional college.

What financial aid is available? It's a common question students ask before enrolling at Ashworth College. We understand. Balancing your dreams of launching a new career or taking the next step forward in your current one with the financial responsibilities you have to yourself and family is a challenge.

Student loans and credit card debt may start out as a manageable undertaking but if left unpaid can quickly avalanche into a crushing burden, impacting every area of your life. These types of personal debts can quickly ruin your credit score and impact other aspects of your life like personal relationships or mental health. The good news is that with careful planning, creative thinking and proactive budgeting, earning a degree—without the debt—is an achievable goal.

Thinking about going back to school? If so, now is also the perfect time to start thinking about the costs and how to pay for them. When thinking about earning a degree, students often rely on financial aid which must be paid back…with interest. However, at Ashworth College, we ensure that our programs are affordable, and students are able to enroll faster than at other schools.

Choosing which college is right for you depends on an assortment of factors. Does the school offer your major? Do you like the teaching approach and class size? And, most importantly, does it fit in with your lifestyle? For many people, trying to squeeze in education around work, family, friends and other obligations has been a struggle. If you find yourself having trouble fitting it all in, online education may be for you.
