That would be me. I decided to go back to school once my son was old enough to be on his own for a couple of hours. I went back to school at age 33. I just recently completed my MS and I am now 37. I knew many, many women and men who did the same thing I did. As a matter of fact, most of the women and men in the MS courses with me were all over the age of 30 as they had done the same thing I did. What the governmental officials don't realize is that too many of us have to first figure-out how we are going to provide our basic needs *food, shelter, etc* before we can consider "higher education". They need a reality check.

It's interesting that there's an age limit. I thought
what you sent indicated that post-secondary students
are included. There could be some in that category who
are older than 26, who decided relatively late in life
to go to graduate school or law of medical school, or
veterans who return from active duty. Will the age
limit be relaxed if they can prove their in-school
status and their disability?
