I am unemployed and the American Red Cross, in Rocklegde, FL., has a 5 week training program to become a Nurses Assistant, and the tuition is $720.00 dollars which includes books an materials. Is there any organization here in Orlando, FL., that can help me with the tuition?

I am interested in getting my undergraduate degree. This degree will be one of my special dreams and not for a future career. I am retired from the health care field and this is something I can do. I am 70 years old and hoping that this dream will come true.
