Everyone is welcome at Focus on Women. Are you a student interested in "non-traditional careers" - for example, nursing careers for men and electronics or architectural construction careers for women? Are you an adult student going back to school or attending college for the first time? Are you a single parent or stay-at-home mom? Do you need help finding financial aid and information about getting an affordable education?

FOW offers you counseling and support groups. We'll help you determine eligibility for financial aid such as Perkins grants.  

FOW will help you achieve your educational goals. Visit us when you need someone to focus on YOU.  FOW welcomes all students!

Services for Prospective Students

Each semester the FOW office offers “College is Possible - Check it Out!."  This workshop will tell you the steps to take and the resources available to return to college.  Learn about financial aid, the Career resource Center and the HFCC Child Development Center, and enjoy a campus walking tour. Call 313-845-9629 for information on the next scheduled session.

At any time you also can contact us for a private "Back-to-School" appointment. We'll answer your concerns about entering/ re-entering college and tell you about special funding for those contemplating nontraditional careers.
