I got a job at the university I am attending.  Most places let full time employees go to school there for free. It means that I can only take classes part time, but I was not up for getting myself into more loans like I did when I was an undergrad, and I don't have enough money saved to pay full price.  \n\nYou've already checked into financial aid, I assume.  Grants are another good place to look.  Sometimes you can even get an award or grant from your undergraduate institution.

For school grant, check out FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2004_2005/english/types.htm \n\nYou may want to explore private foundation grants. For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."\n\nFor government grants, 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

First -- you can't get a grant in four weeks. If you are talking of government grants, the whole process is tedious, stringent and yes, bureaucratic. You first have to write a grant proposal -- assuming there is a grant you can qualify for (a BIG IF). \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, no grants for paying off credit cards, no grants for getting out of debt and no grants for simply fattening your wallet.\n\nGrants 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.\n\nThere is a stringent review process through a committee. 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.\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two 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.

Loans must be repaid.  Grants do not require repayment.   \n\nThe best start is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid available from the website below. \n\nYou can also speak with the financial aid professionals at the schools you are considering.

Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to fill out the info for a Pell Grant.  Once your in college, depending on your major, many departments may have additional grants.\n\nA word of caution, if anyone says they can get you grant info for free and wants to "charge" you for it, I wouldn't recommend it!!!\n\n\n\nGood Luck...\n\nBy the way...I am a 33 year old single mum with 2 young kids (my parents stopped supporting me financially years ago LOL). I am putting myself through college "on my own" with the grants.  I have not needed loans yet, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
