looking for monies to continue education

I am a reformed individual that had a 11 year addiction to Methamphetamine. I have been clean for about 7 years and have been successful at remaining sober because I surround my self with successful people and also by being honest about my situation.

I am now 31 years young and have a interest in Business. I was just wondering if you new of any scholarships out there that can help individuals like my self. I really want to get a degree in business admin, and then move on and getting my bachelors.

Please can anyone help me on this matter. My name is Eleanor Haunga and my email is prettyphatgirl@gmail.com. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Mahalo and Aloha

Eleanor Haunga
