Anything is a help for someone with money trying to get an Education. Two ways you can approach this. Contact your State Board of Education and they may help. OR, this what I would do; Contact a College of your choice maybe a college she went to or liked and they set this up with that college. You can state specific requirements to qualify for the Scholarship too. Like a certain Grade Point Average (I not sure I would limit this, it up to you). As you stated, you can specify it go to a Nursing or Vet degree/major. Also, you can specify the person be willing to work in a certain area of your State for maybe a year before they go somewhere else. There are many options and a College can help with this. Good Luck.

Do some research. If it is for a small business you can order some packets of information on subsidies and government aid programs. Also try contacting other businesses that would have either a similar disposition or common interests. If it is for school then many resources are available to you through public financial aid programs associated with the school of your choice.

The possibility of securing a scholarship through Yahoo answers is very, very small. You need to explore the scholarship granting foundations or institutions. Good luck!\n\ncc

I might suggest talking to the Financial aid folks at the University that you are interested. At least they might be able to point you in the right direction.

There are six sources for scholarships and financial aid out there. Financial aid is need based and the package depends on income and resources of the family (undergraduate student) and your resources if a graduate student. A scholarship is dependent upon a selection committee on selecting a person based on an interview or your written essay. I recommend applying to many scholarships because you do not know how many will select you to receive it. There are a lot of people who apply for them. I recommend start searching now.\n\nFirst, there is FAFSA.ed.gov. It helps  you tap into need based financial aid from both your college and the federal government. You apply for it in the January or February before the September semester you start.\n\nSecond, the state has need based financial aid. It can be located via searching the state government website.\n\nThird, if you are in high school, they have a list of local scholarships offered by companies and organizations for its students.\n\nFourth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for your college major, ethnicity, and religion. There are some college majors that have scholarships available.\n\nFifth, your college's financial aid website has a list of private scholarsihps offered from companies and organizations.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. I recommend joining several of these because the selection of scholarships can range on how many are listed and which ones.\n\nGood luck!

Setting up a non-profit foundation is complicated and lenghthy. You must first contact the Secretary of State where you live and submit an application. Bylaws have to be written, a board of directors has to be selected and an extensive business plan written. All the financial information must be included. You'll have to include what salaries will be paid and what positions will be included in the staffing. You should hire a lawyer fot the legal aspects of the foundation. The site below gives some information about non-profit start ups. Good Luck!

There are scholarships out there and many. Some are renewable and some are not. Colleges do offer merrit scholarships if you meet certain criteria and maintain it in areas such as grades. Most outside scholarships are judged by an interview or a written essay. Doing your homework about the organization really helps. I will provide sources for both application tips and locating scholarships. Each of these items do not cost a single penny.\n\nFirst, apply at FAFSA.ed.gov the fall semester before you start college. It will help you tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are a current high school student, check with your high school guidance office because they have a list of local scholarships and requires only an application to get consideration on receiving it.\n\nThird, 35 states have a websites where high school students can apply for college admission and for state college grants by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com for it. If your state is not one of these states, search your state government's website.\n\nFourth, the college's financial aid website lists private scholarships offered by companies and organizations.\n\nFifth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your ethnicity, college major, and religion. There are scholarships out there based on these items.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship websites. Most are updated on a regular basis.\n\nIf a company is promising you guaranteed scholarships for a fee, do not do it. Much of the work can be done by yourself for free. Unless your time is very tight, do not use the service. However, the fee could be better spent.\n\nI did notice from one source I came across that a guaranteed scholarship came from colleges and universities. The student met certain criteria such as grades or being a member of the National Honor Society. There is a list at Guaranteed-scholarships.com. It is a small list of colleges, and the scholarships are listed by college and shows the amount.\n\nGood luck!

Fastweb is not easy because everyone applies for them.  And, by everyone, I mean across the entire nation.  What you need to do is talk to your guidance counselor as soon as possible so that you can start applying for local scholarships.  With local scholarships, you get less money, but your chances are so much higher.  Out of all the scholarships I applied for online, I did not receive any.  I, however, received every local scholarship that I applied for.  Try that.

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.
