Have you ever applied for a grant in education?

I received a scholarship for single moms

Fill out a FAFSA and send it to the school you want to attend. They'll tell you everything you qualify for

I recieved a Pell Grant, went through FAFSA

Gaaa! I hate filling out FAFSA!! Had to do it 6 times so far and probably at least another 3 to go.

I really thing Community colleges are a great place to start your degree. Many make it easy to transfer into universities if that is what you want to do.

It is very easy to fill out a FAFSA application, and if you go to a local community college their financial aid office can help you do it.

This is a government grant that you do NOT have to pay back. You will be awarded an amount based on your finances. Single moms with lower incomes can sometimes get enough to cover the minimum fulltime credit hours including your books.

There are many loans the school can direct you to, that will allow you to pay them back after you leave school, I would avoid them as best you can and if you absolutely need them then they are there utilize it. :D

Good luck and way to go on your interest to continue your education.

FAFSA is agood place to start, but don't count on the schools to tell you everything you might qualify for. Go to your public library and ask for the big book of scholarships, which is updated yearly. I can't remember what the name of the book is, but every public library has it. There are little known scholarships for al kinds of people--different religious groups, civic clubs, career societies, charitable foundations, memorials, etc, offer thousands of awards each year. My first time in college, I got much of my school paid for by combing through that book and applying for everything I could find.
