I too am a single mother with little extra time on my hands.\nThis may be only a small money fix, but you could try selling on eBay if you have an area of expertise or product you can make easily.\nI sell reproduction doll parts that I make at home.\nThey take only about an hour or two out of my week to make, and I can resubmit the same auction over and over again once my dutch auctions sell out.\nwith the extra money I make I am able to pay my bills on time at the very least.\nThere are also people I see who are selling information like  recipes or or instruction on how to do things.\nThese are great for the seller because when a customer purchases them through paypal the seller can then just email the information to the buyer. No shipping involved at all.\nI hope this proves to be help full information\nHave a great Day and good luck on your quest.

contact your local college.  they have all of your financial aid answers.  it's all based on your income - not marital status.

You speak to the financial advisor of that school.  You can apply for loans and grants.  They will assist you with all you need to know in paying for school.

Enroll in school and take out a student loan for living expenses.  You'll get your money in like 6 to 8 weeks and an education.  You can take one out each semester and you'll qualify for financial aid to cover your school expenses.  summer semesters are starting.

Try getting a student loan or financial assistance from the government.

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

It depends on which state you live in.  Some states offer tuition breaks or pay for tuition for children who were in the system.  Ask your caseworker or contact the Department who handles foster care.  You could also contact the Board of Regents for Higher Education of the State too.  (All those have different names BTW depending on the state.)\n\nYou should also fill out the FASFA (using the link below) because you probably would qualify for a Pell Grant.  Also, if you have good grades and have taken challenging high school classes, you may qualify through the SMART grant program.  It is new, so ask the financial aid office at the school you want to go to about it.  Also check out finaid.org below for scholarships too!  \n\nFinally, even if you can't pull together grants and scholarships, you can get student loans.  Long term, it is better to get a college degree so make the investment in yourself.  Good luck!

I am assuming family is not an option.  If you do have family somewhere, even grandparents or aunts and uncles, try them first.\n\nDon't try to borrow more.  Look for grants, or work study programs that can generate some income for you.  If necessary, take some time away from school to work and build up a little savings.\n\nChurches can help, and so can some community agencies.  I assume you are female--that will help you.  If you are minority that helps even more.\n\nGood luck, God bless and don't give up.  I know you aren't a dumbass--even smart people occasionally make poor choices, and even when they make good choices they don't always work out.

If you go to extra classes, you're going to need even more money.  I would get a job and go to school part time if that's an option..or get a job and save until you can afford to go back to school, but make sure you do that..education is priceless.

You only have to have lived in your own place for 1 year and rely only on your income as far as reporting the income on the application. Go to your local community college and ask to speak with a financial aid adviser or the one at the college that you intend on attending.

Do you not get an allowance? If not, speak to your parents about "fair wages" for "extra chores".. You and your friend could look into Volunteer work, at first you think there isn't any money in that, but, if you volunteer at a Nursing Home, you can "push" the wheelchair seniors around for a walk, you can read to them, you can write/print letters for them, help them cut their food, all kinds of things.  An other volunteer job is with the local Humane Society. Helping feed and clean the animals. Both these volunteer positions will enhance your prospects. For babysitting or child care/ you will have experience. You can take a Free course at your local Y.M.C.A and get a certificate that Proves your qualified to babysit. Ask your neighbours if you can help for pay. Clean the basement, the garage, walk the dog, go to the store for them. With all that said, try a little entrepreneurship,(that means working for yourself,for money). i.e. hand made Christmas Cards, 6 to a box (and you can make the box) - $5.00 - fancy note paper, make it on the computer, (make the box) 20 sheets (small) $5.00 - how about jewelry - you can buy all the stuff at the Dollar Store. The craft book you can borrow from the library. So there are some ideas - ps - talk to your teachers - see if they need help, shopping, wrapping, decorating, but make sure They know your looking to get paid. Oh - if your a good student, you can tutour lower grade kids and get paid.

I would contact social services. You obviously have a place to stay or you would not be on here. Stay in school, they will pay or child care. Social services should have plans for you and your situation. Do not stop talking with your parents. Keep attempting to work things out with them. You may have toget a job after school. email me if you like, i am a life coach and will coach you for free. james101092@yahoo.com

You can do the follo\n1. Borrow money from parents or elders\n2. Approach financial institutes for special student loans and schemes\n3. Work temperory at call center or Mac Donalds\n4. Conduct private tutuion classes\n5. Win scholarships\n6. Save pocket money, dont be extrawagent, dont be fussy and choosy, concentrate on studies, avoid expensive things in college, avoid so called days, avoid spending money and time on gfrend/bfrend.\n\nGood luck.I believe that education is very expensive these days, esp engg. Even I am wanting to earn some money.\n\nAgain, Good luck.

File for the FAFSA.  One of the questions asks if you are a ward of the court or an orphan.  This gives you the same status as a single parent which (at least in my experience working with students) gives you an EFC- expected family contribution- of 0.  While this doesn't guarantee you a full ride, it does put you in line for all the school scholarships, grants, and great loans (as opposed to crappy bank loans.)  Visit fafsa.ed.gov to apply.  Also, I recommend fastweb.com for scholarship searches.  Hope this helps.
