There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

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. 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

Go to the school; they will help you with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This will include the Pell Grant, Federal loans, work study, etc. Make sure you get this done by the deadlines posted at the school, because the state grants have different deadlines and they are applied for automatically when you apply for the other.\n\nIf you, as a single mother, have earned less then $30,000 last year, you will qualify for a full Federal Pell Grant.

there are alot of things that factor in on your question A. are you eligible for financial aid yes you can get financial aid even for schools to get your cdl i got a grant for mine the total cost of the school was 5,000 dollars the grant covered the whole cost B. alot of companies will actually hire you and send you to a school of their choice and pay the tuition so if this is a route you want to take explore your options some companies also do tuition reimbursement there are alot of different "roads" you can take to minimize or get rid of out of pocket expense good luck to you

You could contact a Technical school, I got my Child Development Associate degree in a free Apprenticeship program, and I was able to count my working hours as my intern hours. Also, if you are really broke, then you should qualify for financial aid programs.

You should also try you county government. They don't do a lot of advertising, but they do offer development programs. the USDA (Yes, the United States Dairy Association) offer aid for people willing to move to low population areas.\n\nI would be curious to know why you are looking for a grant aside from the obvious.
