You might have to take out a very low interest college loan that you start to pay back after you graduate. Good luck.

As the mother of a college student, been there done that! Go online and fill out a FAFSA. This will determine the amount of grants and subsidized loans your son will be eligible for. Then go to fastweb.com and check out some scholarships, have your son apply for these. (Fastweb won't share your info unless you tell them too and they don't spam you.) If you need more money to pay for college you can talk with the financial aid office at the University about scholarships that they offer, including departmental scholarships, and also about a CAL or Sallie Mae loan. I' ve listed the links below, hope they help.

Many universities offer funds. Also try scholarship websites.

ask about the ollege access funds, sometimes called hardship funds, ALL colleges and universities have them but the funds are limited so apply early.\n\nSome charities and educational trusts give money to students, try EGAS they will send your son a form and then identify possible sources of funding, although to be honest they tend to have been set up in the days when men found work easily so women stand more chance as do those with a disability.\n\nThere is a huge reference book called something like "grant making trusts" - you will find it in the library but it is normally only for reference.\n\nI went through the entire book identifying trusts that may help me, I put these on a database, I then did a mailmerge and wrote off about 200 letters, I got about 20 replies and funding from about 6.\n\nOne advantage of this kind of funding is that it does not count as income so is not taxed and does not affect dss benefits.\n\nYour son stands more chance if one of his parents is a member of particular groups such as freemasons, or a member of the clergy or even the geografical area he lives in.\n\ngood luck.

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 ask them if there are any programs for your age and type of study\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 for older women from private foundations.

there are Pell grants to name one, and many others available. Talking with a financial aid counselor at your local college or where you are interested in going to school is easy, just make an appointment. I am 40 years old and received a $2500 dollar grant and student loans to complete  courses i needed. The paperwork is usually handled by the financial aid worker or at least they can help you fill it out.

Check out www.grants.gov   and    www.e-grants.gov for educational type grants. These are "free" grants that you must apply for and for the most part be qualified for. Almost all grants are "free" but you must meet the criteria that they call for. Such as "medical research on sea urchines for enzymes pertaining to calcium deposits in bones, on the atlantic seaboard only." While this is free to apply for, it has extraordinary qualifiers for acceptance". People who research for grant opportunities and those who write the grants and those who manage the funds once the grant has been given are the ones who benefit initially. Try going to "google or yahoo" and put in "grant>educational" and it should narrow only educational grants (which will still a huge batch!)  Good Luck

Go back to school.  Grants are available and loans can be deferred until you can afford to pay them back.\n\nInvest in your education.

There are other sources for financial aid for college students. They are free to utilize.\n\nFAFSA.ed.gov will help you tap into need based financial aid from both the federal goverment and your college/university.\n\n35 states offer a website in which you can apply for both college admission and state financial aid at the same time. You can locate these by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com. If your state is one of the 15, you can locate college grants and scholarships via searching the state government's website.\n\nFinally, your local college/university's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships available to its students from companies and organizations.\n\nGood luck!

Don't believe everything you see on TV or see on the Internet.  It is just hype to get your money.\n\nOne sure way of getting money is if you want to go to college you can get a grant.  This is money that you don't have to pay back.  Go to your local library.  They have books that can tell you where to find college grant money.\n\nGood Luck!

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 here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Fill out an application. And the government will decide, based on many facts and figures you give them how much money you will be able to afford for college. The figure will be from $0 and up. Then you talk to the financial aid counselor at the university or college you want to attend and they tie the final strings for you either giving you grants or loans.

Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to fill out the info for a Pell Grant.  Once your in college, depending on your major, many departments may have additional grants.\n\nA word of caution, if anyone says they can get you grant info for free and wants to "charge" you for it, I wouldn't recommend it!!!\n\n\n\nGood Luck...\n\nBy the way...I am a 33 year old single mum with 2 young kids (my parents stopped supporting me financially years ago LOL). I am putting myself through college "on my own" with the grants.  I have not needed loans yet, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
