<prompt> Human: My wife and I have a three year old son. We both work full time and dont have high paying jobs so life has been a financial struggle the last 4 years.We have maintained staying out of debt, and still basically live paycheck to paycheck. I would like to go back to school to finish my paramedic cert which is about a 1 year program if you do 40 hours of class per week. However, I cant not work, and its not a class I can do online.I got full federal aid for my EMT course 1,000 but that was just one class two nights a week.Are there any scholarships or similar for working parents to assist with living expenses and school costs?  <response>: I dont know about scholarships but community colleges are very affordable and usually have two night class time slots. My typical tuition was 1000 per semester. You can speak to someone in advising about scholarships and other programs. You can also get a small tax break for attending college classes. I did my first few years of college by working from 9-5 and attending two night classes at 6 730. I would study in the library from 9 until the library closed. I was able to get 6-12 class hours per semester with an AB schedule. I found the instructors and classes to be better than those at the University I attendeded. The EMT classed were usually taught by very experienced EMT.
