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!

Your first step should be to fill out a FAFSA. It's a government form that takes forever to fill out. Once you submit it, the government determines your level of need, and reports that to the college you're thinking of attending. Then you can talk to your financial aid office at the college, and they'll work with you to help you find a way to pay for everything.\n\nThen there are always private scholarships that are usually just companies or philanthropists giving away money. The money is usually given away in essay contests.\n\nAlso, good luck! My mom was a single mom, and I watched her struggle through school, one class at a time while I was growing up. She just graduated a couple of years ago. I hope you get to go. :]

Have you applied for Financial aid with the school? FAFSA.ed.gov will help you tap into need based financial assistance from both the school and the federal government. Also an idea is to look at a college or school that accepts federal financial aid to cut down on babysitting fees. Also the state government has grants for students too for attending college, and all you need to do is search your state government's website. Good luck!

fafsa.ed.gov would be a good place to start.  (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)  you fill out an application and based on your income, and your parents depending on age, they will determine the amounts of loans and grants that you will qualify for.  You can accept none, some, or all of the various monies you qualify for.

Government:\nAlways start with your Federal aid application -- file your FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and make your it gets to the school(s) you're interested in.  This will determine your eligibility for Federal Aid programs, state aid programs, and many institutional/private programs as well.\n\nSchools:\nCall your schools' Financial Aid Office to see what other programs they might offer besides Federal/State aid.  Make sure you know if you are eligible and what you can do to apply.  See if they have a list\n\nEven if you are no longer enrolled in high school, go visit your High School guidance office to see what they recommend.  Some offices will collect scholarship listings that you can browse through\n\nLibrary:\nGo to your local library.  They might have a similar list of scholarships posted somewhere.  If not, at the very least, they should have dozens of College Planning-type books that you can look through (for free!) to get ideas.\n\nOnline:\nThere are numerous resources out there to help you prepare and pay for college.

I got student loans through my school. First I applied for financial aid through FAFSA and then I gave them my school info. Then on my schools' website there is a place that talks about financial aid and I clicked the link and it told me places/banks/financial institutions that loan money. All I did was fill out the Master Promissary Note and Whola!!! I have money for school. All I had to do was send some verification to my financial aid (W-2's for my husband and I and a copy of our tax return) and I was ready to go.\n\nYou can also look for scholarships at www.fastwebs.com

Don't be afraid to call local colleges financial aid offices, they should be able to tell you what options are available, and maybe even help you apply, or at least point you in the right direction....and you can always look on the net under scholarships, I imagine if you look under grants, you'll be getting alot of unwanted emails! so  I'd try scholarships first.

John, There are many types of financial aid.  There is aid for financial need and aid for merit.  Aid for financial need depends on a number of factors...Your best bet is to begin with the FAFSA.  Your father's income might not be included.  Also, you should talk to the Admissions and Financial Aid staffs at the colleges that you are interested in attending.  A number of schools have institutional aid which they determine how it is distributed.  Your state might have aid available as well for financial need as well as for certain courses of study.  \n\nwww.fastweb.com can help you locate scholarships.  \n\nOne thing to remember is you never should have to pay to complete a FAFSA or scholarship search.  There are a number of good internet sites that can help you in your search.  Good luck!

check the website of the schools you want to attend, they will list all their important deadlines for financial aid.  some schools (mostly private ones) require you to fill out the CSS/Profile form in addition to the FAFSA in order to receive aid from the school itself.\n\na good website to check for scholarships is fastweb.com.

Your first step should be to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid). If the government determines you have a financial need to help pay for college they will give you the pell grant. You should also apply for local scholarships at the college you wish to attend. Contact the college financial aid office to see what programs that have available. Also ask about work-study programs where you receive payments towards your tuition in return for working at the college.
