So, what is your question?  Congratulations on having a smart son.

Well a scholarship is usually earned by the student on some academic or sport specific field and then there are grants and yes there are a number of grants that anyone with certain income levels are given the most common of these grants is called the Pell Grant and probably the second most popular would be the Stanford Bennet grant both are government funde. Good luck if you look any further than this. From someone who went to college on both.

I recommend him checking with the college he teaches with to see if they have a benefit for their children to attend. Some colleges do depending on the number of hours worked, and it is a really good benefit. Also, it should help probably with the FAFSA.ed.gov and other need based financial assistance from the federal government and the college itself. The state also has grants for college students which can be located by searching your state government website. If you are in high school, check the guidance office for its list of local scholarships. I have listed a few other resources. Good luck!

If you know what college he is going to be attending, get him a gift certificate for the college bookstore.  If he is going to be paying for his own books and supplies while he's in college, he'll appreciate it!\n\nIf you prefer to give a money gift, I would recommend $100-$200.  In my experience, $50 is what you give an aquaintence.  If you're close to this kid, that price range would be a generous amount to give.

Try these two websites, both are free:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\n\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\n\nMy daughter is a rising junior in high school, so we are working on finding every scholarship opportunity possible even though she has not yet decided on a college and both these websites will provide you with lots of information, tailored to your specific needs based on profile questionnaires that you complete.  You might also try College Parents of America's website at:\n\nwww.collegeparents.org\n\nYou can sign up for free newsletters which have lots of good information and tips.  If there is a specific college or university that she is interested in attending, she needs to contact the admissions office and arrange for a campus tour, and to speak with an admissions rep about her specific needs.  Good luck, and happy hunting.

You should contact your college to review their scholarship to see if any of them fall in your category.  I have never heard of a scholarship for this condition.

If you can't even spell, why would anyone give you anything? \nEspecially a scholarship !!

if you are very poor, and if you have good grades, it is possible. but if you want a free scholarship for nothing, no one will give it to you. you have to work hard for it.\n\nEuropean Universities have one of the best scholarship programs.

Go to a book store and buy a "Scholarship Book" It may cost $40, but if you get even ONE of those scholarships, it will be  a worthy investment.  Apply for scholarships/grants that are unique and will attract fewer applicants.

Tennisshoe has done a wonderful job letting you know what you need to do.\n\nThe thing is, if your son is under 22 years old, and not reading at least at the 8th grade level (the minimum accepted level for regular ed kids to graduate), he should NOT be graduating with a standard diploma. He has until the year of his 22nd birthday to continue taking high school remediation classes free of charge. If they are forcing graduation before then, you DO have a lawsuit. Get a lawyer!\n\nIf your son IS turning 22 years old this year, then the schools have worked with him for as long as they legally can. If they can demonstrate academic growth each year, then they have done what they are supposed to.\n\nIf he is turning 22, take his diploma, and copies of his last few IEPs, to the local college/university. He can be enrolled there for more reading remediation, but now it will cost you and him for tuition and books (rather than the taxpayer).\n\nThere are also trained tutors available, both through the colleges and privately. \n\nWhat bothers me most is that this should have been covered as part of the "Transition Planning" in his IEP meetings, ever since he was 14 years old.\n\nI would strongly recommend that in either case, you get a parent advocate. Most states have a parent advocacy organization of some kind. In New Mexico, it is Parents Reaching Out (PRO).

I don't know if this is allowed (the posting of other websites) but I got a flyer from my school saying this is a good website to try to look for scholarships. \n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com/\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nHave a great day. =]

This is really great news! It means that your son is a bright boy with lots of potential. He is capable of doing his work and getting good grades. If he chooses to do his work, follow directions, do his homework....he should be successful in school.\n\nThe key is that he has to do what is required of him. I don't want to say that learning will come easy to him but he has the potential to do better than most students.\n\nKeep encouraging him and challenging him. He has a lot going for him which can help him in life.

If you can afford it, you might want to seek some legal advice right now, just to explore your options.  If they tell you that there may be no good way to obtain money from your son, you might want to speak to him to find out what his intentions are.\n\nAs far as Financial Aid: the federal methodology used to calculate your grand-daughter's EFC (i.e. her ability to pay for college) *requires* that she include parental income/asset information on the FAFSA.  The student who does not provide this information will be denied aid until the issue is resolved.  If your son leaves her with you, your information can't be used in the "parent" section unless you officially adopt her.  HOWEVER, she may be able to petition her school's Financial Aid Office to be considered independent, in which case parental information won't be required and she will probably be eligible for a good deal of financial aid.

Free can be tough, but you have several options as far as either getting your child a free ride to school or reducing the amount you need to pay.\n\n1) There are scholarships, including full-ride scholarships available... but it is something your child will need to work for that you can't do for him/her.. like excelling at sports, in various subjects like math, science, art, or music, or doing a lot of community service.\n\n2) If your child doesn't qualify for a full-ride scholarship, he/she may qualify for financial aid.  There are basically 3 kinds- grants, which you don't have to pay back, loans, which you do need to pay back, or work  study, in which he/she will be working for a salary in order to pay for their college.\n\n3) Your child can start to look for a job now to help pay their way through college.\n\n4) You and your child can invest money into a savings acoount starting now and not use it except to pay for college.

yeah, i can help.  i can help you be a better parent by giving you some advice:  don't do your son's homework for him.  you are sending him to school to learn, aren't you?  how is he going to ever learn how to do anything if you spend days doing his work for him?  \n\nsure, he might end up with an A in first grade, but who cares about what you got in first grade?  you could make an argument that grades are important to his future if they are high school grades, but it's far more important that he actually *learn* things at this age.\n\nsheesh.
