Try your counselor at your school she cant be allot of help to you and your parents. My friend got pregnant when we were in 6th grade and the school counselor gave her a scholarship to some school and now she's a doctor.

I agree that the Shriners is a great place to try.  However, if you can't get help from them. Try this. If you belong to any religious groups, or other orgazations, see if they have funding for emergencies.  \n\nDo you have close relatives that maybe can help somewhat?  Do you have any thing that can be used to secure a loan? Like a house, or any real property?  Do you have an insurance policy that can be cashed in early?  \n\nDo you vote on a regular basis?  If you do, you might try contacting your local, state, or even federal representatives.  They may be able to steer you toward organizations that can help.  \n\nEverybody belongs to an ethic group. There are organizations that target their specific group for assistance.  There IS help out their somewhere.  The hard part will be doing the legwork for the research to find where it is.  First, use the internet, after you have narrowed the list, use the phone.  \n\nYou might try (a long shot probably) to locate any organizations that help children with your child's afflication.

please, file the fafsa online at:  www.fafsa.ed.gov  this will start you on the process to getting financial aid for your daughter.  you need to do this after january first, 2007 and before your states deadline date (in california it's march 2nd, cuz that is the deadline for the cal grant).  by filling out the application, your family is given an expected family contribution (EFC) this is how much your family is expected to spend in order to send your child to college.  this number is fixed and doesn't change just because the cost of the college changes.  so, your daughter is really smart.  let's say you get an efc of $2,000.  you will have to pay that same amount if she went to a jc, state school or private school.  i tell my kids they can have a pinto, civic, or jaguar for the same price, which do you get?\n\nafter you file the fafsa, the gov't sends your efc to the schools listed on the application (the ones your child is thinking about attending).  it is then the schools job to put together a financial aid package.  if the school costs $18,000 for tuition, room and board, books, transportation, etc.  and you have an efc of $2000, then the school has to find $16,000 in financial aid to give you.  this could be a combination of loans, grants, college specific scholarships, work study, etc.\n\nif you want to get started on also applying for scholarships (cuz you will have to bug your daughter to do it every week!) please check out fastweb.com.  it's a great site for scholarships.  also, have your daughter talk to the career center and they can give you the info on any local scholarships.\n\nas far as the job, have her get one as long as it doesn't interfer with her studies.  just make sure she doesn't make too much over $1750.  this will effect your family's efc and backfire on you later.  good luck!

There are scholarships out there and many. Some are renewable and some are not. Colleges do offer merrit scholarships if you meet certain criteria and maintain it in areas such as grades. Most outside scholarships are judged by an interview or a written essay. Doing your homework about the organization really helps. I will provide sources for both application tips and locating scholarships. Each of these items do not cost a single penny.\n\nFirst, apply at FAFSA.ed.gov the fall semester before you start college. It will help you tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are a current high school student, check with your high school guidance office because they have a list of local scholarships and requires only an application to get consideration on receiving it.\n\nThird, 35 states have a websites where high school students can apply for college admission and for state college grants by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com for it. If your state is not one of these states, search your state government's website.\n\nFourth, the college's financial aid website lists private scholarships offered by companies and organizations.\n\nFifth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your ethnicity, college major, and religion. There are scholarships out there based on these items.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship websites. Most are updated on a regular basis.\n\nIf a company is promising you guaranteed scholarships for a fee, do not do it. Much of the work can be done by yourself for free. Unless your time is very tight, do not use the service. However, the fee could be better spent.\n\nI did notice from one source I came across that a guaranteed scholarship came from colleges and universities. The student met certain criteria such as grades or being a member of the National Honor Society. There is a list at Guaranteed-scholarships.com. It is a small list of colleges, and the scholarships are listed by college and shows the amount.\n\nGood luck!

The best place to find a scholarship of that type is from the college itself. However, there are other sources for scholarships and grants to enable you to attend college. All of these sources are free to join and use.\n\nFirst, I recommend applying in the January or early February of your senior year of high school to apply at FAFSA.ed.gov. However, if you are attending college during the spring or summer sessions, you have to apply now. This is based on your family's income and financial resources.\n\nSecond, your high school guidance office, if you are a high school student, will have a list of local scholarships for its students to apply for consideration.\n\nThird, your state government offers grants to pay for college tuition, and it can be located by searching your state government's website.\n\nFourth, check out your college's financial aid website and office because they list private scholarships from organizations and companies. Sometimes, your college major's website will list scholarships related to the major. Make sure to mention this on your college application and any financial aid correspondence with them on being a first generation college student.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship search websites of which fastweb.com is one. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on the information you have provided.\n\nI have listed some resources that would be of interest to you as being the first one in your family to attend college on financial aid and scholarships.\n\nGood luck!

You should be looking at a variety of sources to seek outside scholarship help. I know you are looking for one source but you could miss out on some scholarships that might not be listed on that particular website because they do not have a web page devoted to it. Also, it takes time once you apply for consideration for a scholarship to hear back from them.\n\nFirst, check with the financial aid office and website because they list private scholarships from outside sources such as organizations and companies. Also, sometimes your major's website might list some scholarships.\n\nSecond, check with your local library for a scholarship listing book. There are scholarships out there that are not listed on the web.\n\nThird, check with your employer or your parents's employers to see if they offer a scholarship program or help for college students.\n\nFinally, join several free scholarship search websites because a scholarship might be listed with one website but not another. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search.\n\nGood luck!

It's time to apply for need-based financial aid. Visit with the financial aid office at your college for information and assistance. You will very likely have to complete a FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov).\n\nThe best place to find merit scholarships is the scholarship office at the college or university you plan to attend. After you've contacted that office, you should also work through your local sources: your or your parents' employers, fraternal organizations in your area (Lion's Club, etc.), your church/diocese/synagoge, your youth group/athletic team sponsor/coach, your high school counselor and your high school principle. Then visit your local library and browse through their reference books on college grants or go online and search for grants at sites such as www.fastweb.org.\n\nBest of luck! \n\nSource(s):\n\nHill Country ECS http://www.hillcountryecs.com\nThe Future Prep Workbook (College Planner) http://www.lulu.com/content/264487......
