Pell Grants are only available to students with very low EFCs.  Your income is only one of many factors taken into consideration in the EFC calculation (other factors include assets, number in household, number in college, untaxed income, etc.)  Pell grants are calculated by a table that compares your EFC to the cost of attending your school. You can view the 05-06 tables here: http://www.ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/attachments/2005payschedrev.pdf\n\nNote: Unlike some other types of grant aid, schools are not given an allocation of Pell. Pell is considered an entitlement to eligible students.

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.

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.

Based upon your income/need, you may qualify for a Pell Grant, regardless of your race or gender. The following link has more information on Pell Grants-\nhttp://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2003_2004/english/types.htm\n\nI found this link for scholarships (not grants) through NAACP- http://www.naacp.org/rat/education/education_scholar.html\n\nGood luck to you, and take care! :)

well, this is kind of a loaded question. yes there are free applications, but it takes a lot of detective work to find them. my advice, look at your public library for three books. they are by ben kaplan. he won about $90,000 in scholarships and grants to go to school. plus he's done a lot of the work for you and even shows you how to go about sending in applications and gives you examples and everything to give you an edge. here are the titles to his books. after reading one or all of his books, i promise that you will be more prepared to deal with finding money for school.

Yes, grants are only issued to students who are need based, so if your family's income exceeds a certain amount, you may not be eligible for a grant. Loans and scholarships are still an option for you though! Hope that helps!

Usually, there is more to it.  it depends on how much aid -- and what types of aid -- you are looking for.  Funds such as the Federal Pell Grant are considered "entitlements" to the [very] high-need students who apply for Federal aid; once you are deemed eligible, you don't need to do much else besides file a FAFSA to obtain this award. (But don't expect to receive Pell if your EFC exceeds $3850.)\n\nThere are other types of aid that require a little more effort on both your part and the part of the Financial Aid Office.  Your school will use the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for most types of Federal aid.  Many schools have an allocation of what is called Campus-Based Aid which includes Federal Perkins Loan (a low-interest loan with attractive terms), Federal SEOG (a grant for high-need students), and Federal Work-Study (a program wherein students work on campus [or off-campus in community service roles] while their wages are partially subsidized by the government).  It is up to the school to determine the criteria they will use to allocate Campus-Based aid.\n\nOnce you have been awarded this aid, your Financial Aid office will usually send you a letter detailing your aid, which you will need to sign and return to them (not all schools require a signed award letter; check to see what the process is at your school).\n\nIf you are awarded any type of loan, there will be extra paperwork that you will need to complete (a Promissory Note, references [sometimes], and an Entrance Interview form); some schools enable you to complete these forms online.\n\nMany schools offer their own institutional grants, scholarships, or loans. Those who do often require their students to complete a separate application.  When the money is theirs, they can determine what steps you must follow to obtain it. Particularly with scholarships and grants, there might be several steps you need to take before the money can actually be disbursed to you.  Very rarely can you get something for nothing.

$250Million a day. As of today, the total is around $250Billion, or enough money for a full 4-year scholarship for 250 Million Americans. That amounts to around $845 for each American man, woman, and child.

So far, I've received a $40,000 success grant from Franklin Pierce College. I've been offered a $4,000 scholarship from Lyndon State College but decided not to go. I've sent out many essays for scholarships in February. Probably still be a while before I here a response.

Fill out the Fasha online.  That will tell you how much government money is available to you.   Then go to your high school guidance counselor and ask for more suggestions.

You could get a student loan to help pay for college, but they check your credit as a condition to see if you are approved.  If you need extra money to go to college you should definately fill out a FAFSA application for the pell grant.  There is no fee to apply, and if you qualify the government will give you free money to go to college based on your financial need.

Either your parents are claiming you on thier taxes, or you are making a huge amount of money OR most likely, you filled out your FAFSA wrong.  If you are single, over 18 and/or have a child AND your parents do not claim you on their taxes, you should be getting the max for the pell grant.  Check with your school's finacial aid advisor.

You can always qualify for financial aid even if you made too much money. The difference is that you will have to pay for it and the interest when you're done with school.  Also, you can only qualify if you at least go to school with a part time load. \n\nOnline college is only a good bet if it's in the same state your living in, otherwise you'll be paying out of state tuition, which is most of the time as much as 5 times more expensive. Have you thought of a community college?

Go to the school; they will help you with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This will include the Pell Grant, Federal loans, work study, etc. Make sure you get this done by the deadlines posted at the school, because the state grants have different deadlines and they are applied for automatically when you apply for the other.\n\nIf you, as a single mother, have earned less then $30,000 last year, you will qualify for a full Federal Pell Grant.
