Can I get Financial Aid when Bankrupt?

<p>I am a female, age 50 and filed Bankruptcy last October 2008. My business failed due to the economy in the housing industry and I have lost everything. (income, house, retirement, etc.) </p>

<p>I am a High School Grad that put off all these years of college due to raising children. I have always wanted to go to college and persue my dream of becoming an R.N.</p>

<p>Will I be denied financial aid, scholarships or grants due to my recent bankruptcy? </p>

<p>Any advice or feedback is welcome. Thankyou!</p>
