Go to your local library...I can't think of the name of the book but I'm sure they will know what your talking about.  They have a book that is full of different grants offered to people for various reasons.  It's unbelievable the organizations out there that are willing to help if you just look.

Are you looking for support groups for adult students, or are you looking for parent support groups?\n\nParent support -- you can ask the people at these links about support in your town:\n\nhttp://www.php.com/include/agency/show_list.php?where_ConditionsID=32\n\nhttp://www.sonoma.edu/cihs/CAmap/disability.htm\n\n\nIf you are an adult student:\n\nhttp://www.ldaca.org/about.html\n\nhttp://www.familyvillage.wisc.edu/lib_ld.htm\n\nUniveristy guidelines for the supports they offer:\nhttp://www.saonet.ucla.edu/OSD/docs/Guidelines/ucdssld.htm

Absolutely! I am on SSDI. I live in Az. Go to (or call) your State Rehabilitation Office in your town, (listed in your phone book under State Government or call your local Soc. Sec. office). I attend college & am in second year now. You will have your own Rehab counselor all the way through your education (unless you prefer someone else). He or she is also your Advocate & will represent you in all dealings w/ school, if you want --also, go w/ you when graduated & represent you when applying for a job. State Rehab will help you arrange your transportation to get you to school & back (I myself receive a bus pass every month as I am mobile). Rehab provided the eye exam & beautiful glasses I needed to start school, a computer-- which is absolutely necessary to do your work. I take most of my classes online or by cable t.v.. Whatever your situation, they go the last mile to assure you every opportunity to pursue an education & they really make things happen! My friend (in a wheel chair) is now graduated & making over $70 grand a year-I graduate this year-Phi Theta Kappa. You will have your Pell Grants & State Grants & anything & everything else is you need is covered by State. They are the greatest people you'll ever meet & pulling for you 100%, even if you haven't any support from any one else. You CAN do this--many disabled have & it has changed their world. Go for it, get started & Good Luck in your future!!!

I might suggest talking to the Financial aid folks at the University that you are interested. At least they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Great! There are government grants that you don't have to pay back! They will actually pay you to go to school! 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....

No. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for personal purposes such as paying back student loans. There are several grants available for the disabled, but none of them are for paying student loans.\n\nNonetheless, 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 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 a for-profit venture.\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. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for your type of purpose.\n\nMost 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 \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\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

Credit cards or scholarships. The college's office of financial aid may be able to direct you to better resources.

Yea there is stuff out there. I went to grad school, was in a similar situation. I applied, I was eligible for loans, but no grants.

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.

Many universities offer funds. Also try scholarship websites.

You can go to the Grants page of HUD to see what housing grants are available http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm although I doubt that just because you graduated from college now qualifies you for a grant

Yes...if you are wanting to know about disability benefits.  If your Psych doctor qualifies you as not being able to work and you hire a lawyer to work your way through the S.S. disability system you could qualify for disability or S.I.  It is covered under the Americans with Disabities Act.  I know I am receiving beneifts for this reason.\n\nIf you are  bi-polar then you  understand why you would be able to collect disablity or SSI
