Go to your financial aid office.  Go to your school counselor.  Research the internet, there is a TON of stuff -- but you have to filter out the junk.  It took me a few months, but I researched nursing scholarships and ended up applying to over 20 and receiving 5!  Good luck!

Daddys Nurse,\n\nAll military personnel records are kept at the St Louis records office.  Hang onto the 214, it is gold!!  In one of my previous answers someone was asking about VA home loans and business loans.  I provided him with a ton of information that you will need.  It is in my best answer profile.  Contact the VA, Local/closest military installation personnel office, military recruiting station,  American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) organization.  You can also log onto military.com for assistance.  You are on the right track and something will pop up for you very soon.  Since your ex was a veteran, his son may qualify for educational assistance for college or vocational schools?  Now is the time to investigate this, because the process can be lengthy and tied up with a lot of red tape.  I hope this helps.  Good Luck!\n\nV/r  RJ

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.

you can write the government or the branch of service requesting information. under the "freedom of information act" Also if you tell them you are his child and have proof that should help you out more. \n\ni know when i was in, the military did not look fondly on any military person not doing what is thier duty as a soldier or family man.

Not sure if this will help, but my father is also deceased my son and I wanted to know more about his military career.  We found a web site to request his military records.  I cannot remember the website but I have the mailing address.  It took about 2 weeks and his records came to me in the mail.\n\nNational Personnel Records Center\nMilitary Personnel Records\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nI am sure if you do a search on the name you will find the web site, but you have to have his social security number.  I truly hope this helps you out.  I am in your shoes, ever since I remarried a US Army soldier and we now live on a military base, my 14 year old son has taken a big interest in finding out about my dad's military career.  \n\nGood luck to you:)\n\nGOD BLESS OUR TROOPS\n\nP.S.  I just found the website, www.archives.gov

Check out fastweb.com. It will generate a list of scholarships specific for your son. Also talk with the financial aid office, especially if there has been any changes in family income, household size, any changes since you filled out the FAFSA. The fin aid office can often find grant sources. Also ask the college about departmental scholarships, most Universities offer them.

Contact the college you want to attend and ask them about their scholarships and grant money. Next head to the Public Library and ask them to help you research the same. Chances are they will have information from the Foundation Center and others with the type of money you seek.

Go to www.house.gov, or www.senate.gov, to contact your elected representatives or senators.  They can help you, but I warn you, they may send your request to the U.S. Army.  It's hard to say how long it will be before the Army will provide you the answer you need.
