I can get the funding! WOOT! I called this morning and they will pay for my degree starting in May. I called to find out about the intro to sociology credit and I can do it in the Spring session. I was brainstorming today on the questions I need to answer for my application essay. I like writing papers and studying. Not so much in the mass amounts when I'm actually doing a couple of courses at a time, but it's something that I'm good at.
The lady I spoke with was impressed with my years of experience and my education and suggested I apply for the MSW program instead, but I don't have an educational reference anymore. I'll just take the slower route to my MSW.
Exciting times!
