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

All you can do is just sign up for everything...loans, scholarships and grants.  The financial aid office should have info on everything available...just ask!

Fortunately for you, some of the top schools in the country are now promising to offer a LOT of financial aid to low-income students.  Yale, for example, promises incoming undergraduates that they will not expect a family contribution from families making less than $45,000/year.  \n\nThe details for Yale's Financial Aid policies can be found here: http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/financial_aid/index.html )\n(Oh, how the students at my school would love if we had the funding to do this)\n\nIn short, if you low-income but are qualified enough to get into the school based on your merit/academics, the school will help you find the funding to attend.  Best of luck!

The first person mention fafsa and I also recommend fast web. You can get scholarships and it's free to apply. I have been awarded several of them very worth it. Fafsa has loans, grants, and work study programs. I belive they will give you a grant if' you do not make too much money.\n\nGood Luck!!!!

If you are a woman, minority, have children, etc....handicapped you can get grad school monies! A quick yahoo search on grants will help you out... You could get married??? Rent part of your house out??? Helping others out is what I do too! Be good to people and people will be good to you....

Yes, in fact there are, arguably, more loan options for graduate students than there are for undergrads.  Whether she is a master's student, a doctoral student, or a post-doc student, your wife could borrow...\n\n* A Federal Stafford Loan -- annual limits are $18,500 for most graduate programs (and even higher for health professions students).  Interest rates will be fixed at 6.8% for 06-07\n* A Federal Perkins Loan -- annual limits are $6,000 for graduate students ($4,000 for undergrads). Perkins rates are 5% fixed.\n* A Federal PLUS Loan -- these loans, formerly restricted to undergrads, are open now to graduate students. A student can borrow as much PLUS as it takes to cover his/her educational costs. PLUS rates will be 8.5% for 06-07, though many lenders are offering great interest rate incentives, bringing the PLUS rate down as low as 7%!

graduate programs and schools offer a variety of programs to  help pay for the education.  While loans are available, both secured and unsecured, there are also departmental grants, grad assistant stipends, work programs.  don't forget to check with your employeer, they may be willing to cover some of the cost if it helps with your job, and don't forget to check with who ever has your undergraduate loans, some programs will stop the loans while your at grad school.

There are technology grants running around all over out there.  You should have someone at the central office who can help you research grants.  It takes work, and it would belong to the school, but it is one way.  You would have to show how the computer would benefit your students.  The other way to get a cheap one is ebay, but remember, you get what you pay for.

Go to the Financial Aid Office at your school and tell them that you want to explore any and all avenues for aid, grants, loans and scholarships.  Insist on that kind of information - don't just tell that you need money.  You need to be specific.  I worked in a college and I know that with some employees, students need to know the right questions to ask.  You may add that you may not be able to attend without the help.  They really do need students, and may try harder to help keep you in.\n\nGood luck - and remember - be specific in your request.

The short answer is "no".  Grant money is usually paid by the government and is only given to first time bachelor students.  You might be able to find one or two financial aid options at Fastweb.com, but most of those will be for first time bachelors or grad students.  There are a couple that you might be able to find, but grant money is few and far between once you have your Bachelors degree.
