please, file the fafsa online at:  www.fafsa.ed.gov  this will start you on the process to getting financial aid for your daughter.  you need to do this after january first, 2007 and before your states deadline date (in california it's march 2nd, cuz that is the deadline for the cal grant).  by filling out the application, your family is given an expected family contribution (EFC) this is how much your family is expected to spend in order to send your child to college.  this number is fixed and doesn't change just because the cost of the college changes.  so, your daughter is really smart.  let's say you get an efc of $2,000.  you will have to pay that same amount if she went to a jc, state school or private school.  i tell my kids they can have a pinto, civic, or jaguar for the same price, which do you get?\n\nafter you file the fafsa, the gov't sends your efc to the schools listed on the application (the ones your child is thinking about attending).  it is then the schools job to put together a financial aid package.  if the school costs $18,000 for tuition, room and board, books, transportation, etc.  and you have an efc of $2000, then the school has to find $16,000 in financial aid to give you.  this could be a combination of loans, grants, college specific scholarships, work study, etc.\n\nif you want to get started on also applying for scholarships (cuz you will have to bug your daughter to do it every week!) please check out fastweb.com.  it's a great site for scholarships.  also, have your daughter talk to the career center and they can give you the info on any local scholarships.\n\nas far as the job, have her get one as long as it doesn't interfer with her studies.  just make sure she doesn't make too much over $1750.  this will effect your family's efc and backfire on you later.  good luck!

Look into all grant programs. There should also be some type of unsubsidized loan that you can get. You did not say if you are in the U.S. or not so under the assumption that you are you should fill out the fasfa and see how much you can get, then you can always put some money aside from your paychecks to compensate for what you are lacking in financial aid.

Federal Aid is always your best option.  Even if you are not interested in the loans the the Department of Education provides, most scholarship organizations (including *colleges* that offer scholarships as part of their financial aid packages) are going to require you to file a FAFSA (to demonstrate your financial need).  Your loan default (I'm assuming here that your default was on a Federal loan) will show up on your FAFSA, plain as day and preclude you from obtaining further federal aid... that is, until you clean up your record.\n\nAs such, you need to resolve your default (not simply because you need Fin. Aid now but because a loan default will haunt you and your credit report for years).  Once you are out of default (which usually means making a certain number of on-time payments), you will again be eligible for Federal Aid and you will be much better off.  In fact...\n\nIf you are an independent student seeking your first undergraduate degree, you will not only be eligible for federal loans but grant aid as well (depending on your financial need).\n\nIf you choose not to resolve your default: there are private loan companies will still give you a loan.  You can do simple internet searches for education loans, but to make sure that the company you choose is legitimate, check with your college Financial Aid administrator. If you *must* go this route, it is in your best interest to pay attention to interest rates and repayment terms (remember: your loan default affects your credit which in turn affects the rate that you receive on your private loan).\n\nGood luck!

So first you have to know what grants you qualify for then you can try to write the organization with a return stamped envelope on the inside and ask for an application.  If there is an easily assessible applicaiton online then just print it.  You may want to write your qualifications for the scholarship.\n\nYou should meet with your financial aid advisor.   If you qualify for the pell grant and not all your need is met.....let your financial aid counselor know your situation and tell them if they have a bit extra mid quarter they can always sent it your way.  I got about 2,000 from having a working relationship with my financial aid counselor. You should try to get a teacher to help you with your essays.  You have to be your own advocate in financial aid.  Look into programs such as mcnairs program if you have one at your school.  They can help with essays. Look into summer research programs like NSF REU they give generous summer stipends if you qualify.\n\nGood luck

The college ought to have a financial aid office.  That would be the most important place to start.  If they are aware of other agencies to which you should apply, they'll give you points of contact.

All you can do is just sign up for everything...loans, scholarships and grants.  The financial aid office should have info on everything available...just ask!

Get a job.....better yet work two jobs!  Then live within or below your means!  That is how many of us got our starts....no one "owes" you money or a "grant".  Now, if you are a full time student, a whole different answer, BUT if you are a full time student you would know who to see at your college to apply for grants : )  Sorry a little harsh, but no one ever said life would be "easy".  Too many folks out there looking for a handout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out these websites below.\n\nhttp://www.fafsa.com/\nhttp://www.lunch-money.com/\nhttp://fastweb.com/\n      \nLoans are the biggest thing out there, but there is money to obtain that you don't have too pay back. I got a few grants so somethings better than nothing. The thing is YOU have to look around and find them. There arer alot. Also you might want to talk to your advisors at your school about grants they offer for your specific major. Those help as well. GOOD LUCK HOMIE.

get as much financial aid as you can. financial aid is a guaranteed loan that you won't have to start paying off until you graduate and parts of it won't start to accrue interest until you're no longer in school.  the interest on them is generally much lower than normal school loans gotten directly from a bank.\n\neven if you get a full scholarship, it might even be worth it to take out as much financial aid as you can and simply invest it.  these loans are too good to turn down for the most part.\n\nthere's nothing wrong with having more than one loan out at a time. just make sure you keep track of them and pay on time when it's time to start paying them back.

First, if you're going to solicit funding, you should find a more appropriate venue.\n\nSecond, if you're going to solicit funding in English, you should at least make sure that your sentences are grammatically sound.  Let's start this new education system by having you educate yourself on what is and is not appropriate in Yahoo! answers.\n\nThirdly...no, I cannot help you "financially to our great mission" whatever that means.

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

Ask the school of which you will be attending.\nThey may be able to help you with Grants or even scholarships.  Also, check with your local FD.  They may be able to provide you with some specific information regarding the your area and the process and procedures for that area.

What kind of funding sources?  Federal? Private? Loan? Grant?\n\nFederal Loans & Grants:\nIf you don't have an allocation of Campus-Based Aid like Federal Perkins, Federal SEO Grant, and Federal Work-Study, apply for it using the FISAP (it's not a fun application and you may not get much, but every dime helps, right?) Apply here: http://www.ifap.ed.gov/IFAPWebApp/currentCBPMaterialsListPag.jsp?p1=FISAP+Form%2FInstructions&p2=c\n\nPrivate Loans:\nFor private loan options, FinAid.org has a great list of private loans that your students can select from: http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml . And if you need loan brochures, contact your lender rep and you'll get more than you could ever imagine needing.  For our students, we weighed all our options and picked Sallie Mae's Signature Loan, Citibanks' CitiAssist, and the TERI loan through Citizens Bank.  Every school seems to pick different loans, though -- your choices have to reflect the lifestyle of your students.  Are they going to enter high-paying jobs?  Or are they likely to have difficulty keeping track of their payments.  I picked one loan (not listed above, since it's specific to Massachusetts schools) specifically because it offers a fixed-rate option that I thought would benefits our students who won't take the time to monitor their every-changing interest rates.  But it really depends on your and your students.  You should, however, keep your students' interests at heart, as tempting as it can sometimes be to focus on what you as a school might prefer (i.e. ease of processing).\n\nPrivate Scholarships/Grants:\nThere are so many of these that you can't possibly spend all your time tracking them down for your students.  You can give them a taste of what's out there by sending them here: http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/ (to click on all the links)\n\nThen tell them to look for their own private scholarships at their local libraries, churches, clubs/associations, and high schools, as well as online at any of these sites.\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\nhttp://www.srnexpress.com\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\nhttp://www.scholarships101.com\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\nhttp://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\nhttp://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n----------------------\nFor advice of this ilk, I highly recommend joining up with a professional financial aid association.  Every state has their own and there are regional and national (NASFAA) associations.  These associations provide wonderful forums for sharing ideas, solving problems, establishing outreach programs, and networking. For a list of these associations, try: http://www.nasfaa.org/annualpubs/regstateweb.html

Get a job. \nNo seriously, go down to the financial aid office, and apply for an on-campus job. They're normally more than willing to work around your class schedule. And more often than not, so are the local businesses: bookstores, convenience stores; hey, swallow that pride and apply at Wal-Mart.\nTake out the student loan. Apply for scholarships and make sure your grades/achievements are good enough to get you there. Check with your HS guidance counselor, or the college FA office: they may know of some grants or scholarships that you overlooked, like those specific to your field of study, what you've done, or even the town where you live.

Ask your high school counselor about the SAT.  I don't know if he or she would have the Pell Grant for the FInancial aid.  If not FASA.gov\n\nLC
