The list is too lengthly to list here. Starting with Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954 and the Civil Rights movement, to the first introduction of the Education of All Handicapped Children Act in 1975, to the total overhaul and repeated revamping of that law into the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the 1980's and it's repeated revisions, not to mention FERPA, NCLB, and ADA, to a multitude of court cases seeking to define the elements of IDEA (special education policy is really about 99% defined by court cases rather than by legislative actions)... you are asking for almost 60 years of history on a chat forum!  For full details and explanations, it takes a college textbook.

FAFSA and Pell Grant are nationwide. CalGrant is California, but each state has its own grant program. If you're going to a junior college ask a financial couselor if they have a fee waiver, but before they can do ANYTHING you must fill out the FAFSA. If you're going to a 4-year college/university go to financial aid office they can totally get you whatever you need.

Hi,\n\nGreat post!  I had the same grant question a few months ago. It's really tricky to find out about this stuff on the net, but my wife bought me special special software (CD) for my birthday.  The program rocks for finding the grant info you want.  btw...this is  the software that was featured on CNBC and in USA  Today.\n\nThis company is giving away the software free (only $3.95 for shipping)!!!!!!!\nHere's the link\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/free-grant-money.php\n\nI'm sure you'll find the info there\nGood luck

Try taking the ACT or SAT.  If you score high, you may be eligible for some scholarships, depending on how high.\n\nAlso, many who do not qualify for Pell Grants still can get student loans, which do not need to be paid back as long as you are in school at least half time (6 semester hours).\n\nDid you go to the FAFSA website and apply for federal aid yet?  If not, do that first.

I only know that Washington State used to have a pell grant for all kinds of schooling. My friend got one for cashier training school, I got one for a 2 year college. You don't have to pay it back. Call the school and ask if they have pell grants.

There is no such thing as "the homeschooling program".  Homeschooling comes in many shapes and sizes.  Actually, your question should be who founded or started public schooling.  The reason for this is that all children, for the most part, were homeschooled (or in expensive church run private schools) until parents started banding together to teach thier children jointly.  "Boston Latin School in Boston, Mass. is the oldest public school in America. It was founded April 23, 1635.", \n\n\nHOWEVER, ...The movement to RETURN to homeschooling in the late 1960's early 1970 was largely driven by the Moore's:  "The Moore Academy is a branch of Moore Foundation, the homeschooling organization begun by Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore as a result of their research on education done in the late 1960's and early 70's. Major universities widely approve the resulting "Moore Formula" educational concept; Dr. Moore has been personally invited to share authorship on more than 35 university textbooks. Dorothy and Dr. Moore have authored many books of their own related to homeschooling. "

I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/   \n\nYou may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant\nhttp://ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/attachments/0203Vo3MasterFile.pdf\n\nOr you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.pdf at 1-800-433-3243 and inquire about the process of getting grants for school\n\nAside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html  , you may want to explore private foundation grants\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." You may be able to find grants from private foundations.

Check with government grant programs...they used to be Pell Grants. Now I think they are called Federal Student Aid or something like that.\n\nMake sure you get free applications...some places charge for the "free ones".\n\nGood luck and hang in there.

The enabling act for the federal reserve was passed in December of 1913, so the federal reserve was in operation before your target year.  Try the website for a history or statistical report.  You might search the Treasury Dept website for that as well.

ooohhh, cant list exact source but i believe if you look up the  IDEA law on that was created in the 1970s after the civil rights movement, it may give you a clue.  do you mean private preschool for sped, or inclusive?  because these answers will be different.  it wasnt until the civil rights movement that disable kids were even thought to have rights of their own to an equal education so my guess is that most of these kids were institutionalized.  but again, look up the IDEA and the history of special ed.  or the history of preschool sped.  good luck!

It is a pell grant.  Go to the FAFSA website.  You will need your parents' tax information if you are under 21, or yours if you are over 21.  Fill out the information and submit it to colleges.  It takes time--you can't do it in 5 minutes.

Not sure what exactly you mean, but you don't necessarily even qualify for pell grants each year.  You fill out the paperwork annually & they look at your/your parents tax returns to determine if you qualify.\n\nSince you do just fill it out once per year, I would think that the amount you receive is set for the year & is most likely divided between the semesters you plan to enroll, or is applied to the full year in advance.
