Fafsa should help. Depending on your dependant/independant status, you wouldn't need your mom's income info.

Once your tuition and books are paid for, you should put the rest of the money away, in the bank for future use.  If you are unemployed, this money is what you are supposed to live on until next semester.  Maybe you could repay your mom the money she has paid for your books but you don't want to have to ask her for more money before the semester ends.  As a mom, I would prefer to let you keep the money in your own bank account and allow you to budget yourself so you don't have to ask her for more money when your funds run out.  Maybe she plans to take the money from you now, only to return it to you later when you ask for financial help.  Sounds like you need to communicate with your mom and let her know that you want to be financially responsible for your own money.  If you give her $200, she should be happy and know that she is helping you by helping you to become a responsible adult while attending college.  Good Luck.  Don't forget that someday you will have to repay your financial aid.

Did you do the FAFSA form.  I am kind of in the same boat.  I didn't go to school and I worked instead.  Now my FAFSA info will be based on my income of 20,000 even though if i go to school full-time I won't be making any money.  We should keep in touch and encourage each other.  I hate feeling like I have an "impossibbility complex" over something as simple as going to school.  If you can work out something to get through your first year, you will be eligible next year.  Take student loans, it should be worth it.  If you click my name, there is a link on my profile to send me an email.  Feel free!

I am actually helping a young mother through this very thing. I've been trying to convince her that filling her life with more waste of space guys are not the way to being less lonely, especially since the guys she's attracted to have no life. I'll tell you what I told her. Finish high school. Then take some college courses. Get a job. In between times, surround yourself with a healthy circle of friends...ones that aren't after you for money, a place to sleep, or smokes. Find other young mom's who are doing the same thing. Find a MOPS group...Mother's Of Pre-schoolers. It's a mother's group, who meet regularly (weekly) and get together with their children, sharing tips, recipes, cleaning ideas, and each others problems. Once a month, they hire a babysitter and do something together, like go to a movie, bowling or a number of other fun, wholesome activities. Getting involved with a volunteer organization will get you out of the house and helping others with bigger needs than yours. If your child is old enough (as young as 3), you can enroll them in Headstart. There are lots of activities for the parent to get involved with there, along with being with other parents who are going through some of the same things. Some people will find an grandmother-type person, who is still very active, and you help each other. She can help you with your child, being a surrogate grandma, and she can teach you what she knows. You can help her with some of the chores that are maybe a little difficult for her. The thing is to do something with your life that's meaningful to you and your child. When you get involved, you teach yourself and you teach your child, and you'll end up showing your child how to give of himself to those less fortunate. <*)))><

You should be able to talk to your financial aid rep at school and look for additional funding. I am just finishing school and I was able to do many things like that to help pay for textbooks, etc. The school by law is supposed to return any unused financial aid to you unless you tell them you don't want it returned to you so I have never had trouble getting enough to cover all necessary expenses.

Yes, there is tons of aid.  Do some research, you start with the school, do internet searches, local businesses in your area have scholarships, the Jobs. Etc. (state employment agency) has a program called Passport that is geared for single women parents.  Apply for all the financial scholarships you can, even if they are only $400 or $500-- get a few of those and they really add up.  Go to the library, they should have a reference book of scholarships.  Where there is a will there is a way!

I was a single parent who went back to college while working full time. I did have a local support system. However, many colleges that offer night classes also offer child care. You can check with the college that you are considering to see if they offer this. \n\nAnother option, if you could locate others who want to return to college and don't have sitters, you could possibly provide child care for each other if your classes aren't on the same nights or at the same times. You could post a notice at the college.\n\nGetting my degree was the best thing I could have done. Good luck!

No you dont, but me being the honest hard-working mother, I would let you know.\n\nNo if you have some of these mothers who dont have jobs and wont get job and obviously living off your money then they should have to show where this money is being spent.

I'm a college student and i has been hard for me and my parents. There is a scholarship search engine that may help it's www.fastweb.com. I know alot of the scholarship you need to qualify for aid but there are some that you do not. Also you may want to check to see if her school has a payment plan. That has helped us alot. And as far as textbooks if you can find out what books she needs early, then there are some websites you can use alot of times for cheaper books. You can just search textbooks. I usually use www.half.com. If you can do this it really helps.

there are many grants for single mothers, as well as scholarships. Also, go to your local unemployment office and see what they offer. Often your state will pay for you to go to school. Search online for scholarships, etc. at:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\n\nDon't forget to fill outyour FAFSA. You can't get anything without it.\n\nhttp://www.fafsa.ed.gov
