About all the "free" you can hope for is occasional samples. Staples has a teacher sale each year with some nice discounts.  Some Wal-Marts and K-Marts give supply donations too (dependent on the managers).\n\nAlso, your school will occasionally find $50 or $100 in the budget for you to spend... if you're lucky. Have wish lists set up and ready to go, because it usually goes "We have $50 each teacher, which must be spent by Friday... and since today is Wednesday we need your Purchase Orders tomorrow."\n\nThere's a reason why teachers have that $250 deduction off federal taxes... usually we can easily outdo that amount every year anyway, especially if we're elementary teachers.\n\nLocal businesses sometimes will step forward with donations, as do some religious and charitable fraternity groups (e.g. Elks, Masons, etc.).\n\nThere are some websites where you can sign up for classroom sponsors, like http://www.iloveschools.com/teachers.php .

Hi,\n\nGreat post! I had the same exact grant question a few months ago. It's really tricky to find out about this stuff on the net, but my wife bought me special special software (CD) for my birthday. The program rocks for finding the grant info you want. btw...this is the software that was featured on CNBC and in USA Today.\n\nThis company is giving away the software free (only $3.95 for shipping)!!!!!!!\nHere's the link\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/free-grant-money.php\n\nI'm sure you'll find the info there\nGood luck

I'll start by saying Thanks for the service!\n\nCheck with the school you want to go to and ask them.  They want students and that is a stron incentive for them to know the tricks to get different kinds of funding.  Though, be prepared for long waits on the phone.

Check with FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2004_2005/english/types.htm for educational grants\n\nFor other purposes, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nThe government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying bills, for getting out of debt or for buying a car. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant. Grants have objectives, and the grant applications that best captures the grant's objectives are approved.\n\nThere is a stringent review process through a committee composed of federal employees and selected experts in the field. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.

ask about the ollege access funds, sometimes called hardship funds, ALL colleges and universities have them but the funds are limited so apply early.\n\nSome charities and educational trusts give money to students, try EGAS they will send your son a form and then identify possible sources of funding, although to be honest they tend to have been set up in the days when men found work easily so women stand more chance as do those with a disability.\n\nThere is a huge reference book called something like "grant making trusts" - you will find it in the library but it is normally only for reference.\n\nI went through the entire book identifying trusts that may help me, I put these on a database, I then did a mailmerge and wrote off about 200 letters, I got about 20 replies and funding from about 6.\n\nOne advantage of this kind of funding is that it does not count as income so is not taxed and does not affect dss benefits.\n\nYour son stands more chance if one of his parents is a member of particular groups such as freemasons, or a member of the clergy or even the geografical area he lives in.\n\ngood luck.

Some other areas are to check locally with professional women's groups, community foundations and also check your library or university library.  There is a big blue book that lists scholarships, grants and fellowships that is put out every year.  Your librarian will know what I am talking about.    Also look for areas such as essay contest and such that provide money too.  There are typically two times,at the university level for undergraduate money to be given, when you enter as a freshman and also at your junior year (normally when you are in more of your major classes.  Talk with the Dean's office on scholarships to apply for that are only offered to students of that college.  Financial Aid should also have a list of these.  March 1st is usually the time next years applications are due.  I am speaking from personal experience since I have worked for three universities.

A grant is income. You can take certain school expenses against that. They have credits given to students. Hope this helps.

Sell "Holiday Grams", it would be a short note that the sender writes and xmas lollipop sent to someone in their class (say like 2nd period on Dec 15th). Charge two or three dollars. My school used to do this to raise money during each major holiday

I got several federal grants, but they are not personally but for the non profits that I worked with.

You get him in with $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Contact individual schools about their own special programs. They are separate from state funding and regulations so right now their aren't grants or loans for you to use unless your state has a voucher program.  Contact the school and start early.
