Are there any grants or help for parents with kids in private school?

You will have the greatest chance at getting a grant through the school itself. Ask the admissions officer about the availablility. Most of what you will be offered will be needs based, so be prepared to present your last income tax forms.\n\nIf you find that the cost of private school is daunting and public school is unacceptable where you live, look into homeschooling. It is an excellent option. Homeschool kids have been researched in many studies and have consistently been shown to be superior in academics as well as social skills. We homeschool our four children. Our oldest will be heading off to college next fall. His last standardized test put him in the top 7 percent of the nation's composite score with three subtests scoring at 99.9th percentile. It really works, but it takes work too. \n\nGood luck!

It is not  easy to manage a job and take care of  4 kids when you are a single parent.\n(think before you speak  bud13kv)\n\nmy high school and middle school had a gift program for kids,\nask your local schools.

Some universities/colleges have programs to help with this--check with your school (or the schools you are considering).  If they have a daycare for their employees, they often offer more deeply discounted rates for students.\n\nDepending on the age of your children, I have had profs in evening classes allow children to sit quietly in the back of the room (reading, etc.).  But this would be up to school policy and/or each prof.

If you haven't already, contact your school to see what institutional aid they offer.\n\nAs far as outside/private scholarships go, try these sites:\n\n* http://www.fastweb.com/\n* http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\n* http://www.scholarships101.com/\n* http://www.srnexpress.com/\n* http://www.scholarships.com/\n* http://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\n* http://www.finaid.org/scholarships\n* http://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp

I have had my children in both private and public school.  They were actually the same considering the level of education you get.  If you are quite smart as you have indicated, there are plenty of accelerated classes available to you.  There could be a "Gifted Program" in the public school.  I personally feel if you do not like the school you are going to at the moment and you are depressed, it may lower your grades in time.  I would go and be with my friend.  Kids your age need someone they can share things with.  I believe you will be much happier.\nGood luck to you

Seek private grants.  Try to think of ways that your school serves the community.  You can get grants for youth education, especially for minority or poor students.  I gave you some links below to get started.  Also, you may be able to enlist the help of a grantwriter at a local United Way or university!  Good luck!

If you are in the USA, Canada, or England and can't pay for schooling, your children can still get educated at school.  The government will help pay for your child.  Go to the principal and talk to him about how to do this.  There are probably a few forms to fill and you have to prove that you can't afford school.\n\nIf you're somewhere else, I don't know what you would do.

The government gives people free money to go to school. It is called a Pell grant. And you would probably be able to get quite a bit if you are a single mom. The website is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/\n\nGood Luck!

Family, relatives, friends, social organizations, community organizations, government entities, etc. You could also get a loan - which tends to be the most popular route in this type of case. Or get a job (part-time or full-time) that will help you pay for school.\nFor a directory of scholarships: http://www.macquil.com/scholarships.php

go to your schools financial aid department and ask for assistance

First, make sure you've applied for Federal Student Aid online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov .  If your daughter will be would be enrolled full-time and your family's EFC fell below $3850, you would probably be awarded a Pell grant and possibly SEOG if your school offers it (which not all do).\n\nMany schools have their own pool of institutional funding for which you might be eligible.  This, of course, varies greatly by school, so you would want to speak to your school's Financial Aid Office to determine what types of aid they offer.\n\nFinally, consider searching any of several online scholarship search engines for private scholarship organizations.  There are plenty of search engines out there:\n\n* http://www.fastweb.com/\n* http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\n* http://www.scholarships101.com/\n* http://www.srnexpress.com/\n* http://www.scholarships.com/\n* http://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\n* http://www.finaid.org/scholarships\n* http://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nGood luck!

It depends on what kind of support you are looking for.\n\nIf you are a parent of a school-age child and want to have general parenting support, check with your principal and your parent-teacher organization. If there is a particular parenting issue you are interested in, ask the school counselor about what community organizations already exist, if any, and find out if you can include your school as a meeting site. If there is no group yet, ask the counselor how to start one, or who you should talk to in your district about it.\n\nIf you are a student, identify what you want your group to focus on. Write up your idea, find at least 10 other kids interested in it, and then go to the principal to request group status.
