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.

Check with the financial aid department of the school that you'll be attending.  I'm not sure, but you may be past the deadline for applying for grant assistance for the Spring semester.  Most financial aid departments have a generic package to fill out.  Once you turn it in, they'll get back to you with any federal assistance that's available to you, be it grants or low-interest loans.

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!

depends on the state you live in. i don't know too much myself, but am learning as i go... i just registered for spring quarter today, and i know my financial aid for the 06-07 school year is going to cover everything only because i live at home, am raising a four month old lil boy, and quit both jobs so i could focus totally on school. my 05-06 financial aid has yet to be filed....had to order transcripts from the irs. check out my profile and email me and i will keep in touch with you, seeing how i am going to be doing a lot of research. like i said though, try looking up grants offered through the state you live in as starters.

The way I did. Work full time and go to school full time and loans, loans, loans.\nI wasn't able to get any financial aid because my parents owned a business and the business assets were considered theirs except the company was losing tons of money. So I had to do it all on my own.

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

As was previously stated, check the website www.fafsa.ed.gov, and look for contact information.  There is a toll-free number (1-800-4-FED-AID) on the site with live operators who can help you.  Also, contact the financial aid office at the school you are attending, either in person or via their website.  Something as small as a wrong address, misfiled paperwork, or library fines can keep you from receiving your financial aid if you have already been approved and are simply wanting to accept your funds.  \n\nAlso, for future reference, check through your school,  google or another search engine to see if your particular state gives additional grants (for, example, California issues Cal Grants, which is funding above and beyond the normal Pell Grant issued by FAFSA.)  Some schools may also provide a chance to apply for scholarships, which is more 'free' money.  And don't forget to check the website www.fastweb.com, the 'FastWeb Scholarship Search'.  Best of luck to you!

FAFSA does require tax information.  I would talk to a financial aid representative at the school in which you intend to use your financial aid to get a clarified answer.  It probably depends on the reason why you arent filing for your taxes.

Few people get donations for college.  You may be eligible for grants and other financial aid, but donations are few.  There may be some scholarships, but they have requirements as opposed to donations which are more like gifts. \n\nStart out with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from the US Department of Education.  That will show you your eligibility for grants, and other aid as well as your expected cost of education.  From there you may make more intelligent decisions about which college to attend. \n\nA link to the online FAFSA is below.

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.
