Hello, \n\nBelow are websites that I think can help, they are for organizations that help people in countries other than America.  They help with Micro-loans to help you start your own business.  And as it grows you can continue to borrow more money to expand. \n\nYou can also look online for "international micro lender".\n\nThe second and third links are of other men in different parts of Africa that have used the services of Accion International to take loans and start their own businesses.\n\nAnd I don't know if you already have a business idea in mind or not, but African Black Soap and Unrefined Shea Butter sell VERY well in America.  I will put links to this as well.  If you can get a loan to purchase these materials you may be able to start making more money than the gentlemen in the links I provided (we can hope :). I recently paid $30 US for 2 - 5 oz. bars of natural black soap and 2 - 4 oz of unrefined shea butter.  There is also a women that lives in Africa that is selling the soap through ebay.   \n\nBest of luck to you and your family

have you tried your local charities or churches?  \n\nAlso, if you're desperate for money, it's less likely you will get donations.  Companies and individuals who contribute large amounts of money like to see business plans and see that you're diligently working towards a solid business goal.\n\nI'm sure God will help you but you might want to consider that He likes to see you working towards a goal, too.

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!

You're too late to do any applications for funding outside the school your son will be attending. But the school itself should have several options.\n\nYour local library will be your greatest resourse. Just ask the librarian.\n\nAlso, local grants and foundations support educational opportunities. Go to one of the non-profit organizations in your town, and ask them who the money-people are in the area. The non-profits always know where the money is.\n\nIf all funding efforts fail, low-interest loans are available.

I have donated to SOS Children's Villages Canada, which directs my money to Africa.  Specifically, I sponsor an orphaned child in Malawi.  I get a Canadian tax receipt and the child gets a loving mother, home, brothers and sisters and an education to help them develop into a mature independent adult.\n\nThey have offices in 132 countries, so I am sure you can find one in any Country you live in.

There is a lot of money out there for schooling. You have to put in the initiative to find it. I am on the East coast of the US and I know of very successful people from Ethiopia who are hear doing their studies. First look up scholarships that you qualify for as a student your age. You need to start looking online at some colleges you would want to get your education at, and what you have to do as an international student to get in. I can help you further with research because I am doing a graduate school/scholarship search for myself right now. Email me and I can help you further. sama784@yahoo.com

If your a minority woman there are a ton of scholarships so I'd go that route first. Check out www.studentaid.gov there has to be some financial aid you can get. Are you working? Is your credit good? You should also try the banks. Peace and good luck! \n\nVin

Did you ever find you legitimate grant funding sources?\nHere are some more websites to help you.\n\nAlso, check your state information resources.  Each state may have a grant funding office for small businesses.

I would try to avoid loans but see if you can work out an agreement to pay a small amount every pay check you get then go visit the finacial aid office to see if you can get any help there (ask about scholarships too). Then go to fastweb.com fill out a profile and start applying to as many scholarships as you can. If you have too, ask for a personal loan from family or friends and make sure to pay them back at least they won't charge you intrest. Try to work something out where you can pay a little at a time like $30 every pay check. And if you don't work get a job! The school should be able to help you get one just ask.

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.

There are scholarships out there.  I was, like you, a late bloomer without much money and no family support.  Still, I managed to locate funding and so can you.  There are several scholarships and grants that come under the heading of "non-traditional student" funds, so that is one term that you should be searching.  There are also scholarships that are available to you based upon your ethnic background (I assume, from your avatar that you are African-American, but regardless, there are funds out there for practically every identity).  Search aggressively and methodically.  Be prepared to take on a "second job" of filling out applications and drafting and revising essays.  It may seem like a lot of work (and it is), but considering the thousands in student loans you will not have to borrow, it is time and efforts well-spent.\n\nFinally, I would encourage you to be less afraid of student borrowing within reason.  If your college education allows you to add 50% or more to your pre-college earnings AND helps you identify those areas that hold promise for you in terms of choosing a vocation, a bit of debt going forward will seem like a minor inconvenience.  Plus, if you can manage it, there are programs, such as Teach for America, where you can have some or all of your student debt forgiven for teaching for a few years in inner-city schools.  The point is this:  You've become motivated about improving your life by becoming a more educated person.  Do not allow poor cash flow to stand in the way of such important progress.  Put in the time and efforts and soon you too will be advising some ambitious stranger on how to get this thing done.  Best of luck to you.  You'll be fine!
