Hi,\n\nGreat post! I had the same exact grant question a few months ago. It's really tricky to find out about this stuff on the net, but my wife bought me special special software (CD) for my birthday. The program rocks for finding the grant info you want. btw...this is the software that was featured on CNBC and in USA Today.\n\nThis company is giving away the software free (only $3.95 for shipping)!!!!!!!\nHere's the link\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/free-grant-money.php\n\nI'm sure you'll find the info there\nGood luck

The cheapest way is to do your first two years of college at a community college as they are much cheaper and then you transfer to a 4 year public college to finish up.

You can't receive the money directly to you because the money is for your tuition and fees.  any additional funds remaining you will receive a refund check.  Schools don't receive interest off of grants or loans that are not disburse to students.  Interest accrues once the aid is disperse.  In addition, if you don't have any outstanding requirements to satisfy then you should have received part of you aid by now.  Also, schools have different time schedules when it comes to certifing aid, especially if you asking for the funds later in the semester.  I hope this helps.

Sure you just need to complete a free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) This all you need to apply for fedral & state student grants.

If you are financally disadvantaged or you are the first in your family to go to college(aka your parents didn't go to college) you can get major grants from public college's also some private colleges offer grants where u go to school for free and work on campus.

Credit cards or scholarships. The college's office of financial aid may be able to direct you to better resources.

Go to a community college first, they usually don't require the entrance exam's and by the time you are ready to transfer, the new college looks at your transferrable crfedits and will no longer require you to take these tests!

Pell Grants...you do not have to pay back. This is absolutely the best way to go, if you can get approved for one.

The college does not take your money, the government takes it and gives it to the agency that has filed a claim against you. If you have received aid for school and did not pay it back, then there you go. It is legal. It is in the fine print when you apply for student loans.

You can get a grant or a scholarship by filling out the FAFSA form.  There are grants and scholarships for non-conventional students.  Such as those who have taken time off to work or raise children.  \n\nYou can fill out the FAFSA form online but I currently do not have the web address, however know that when you do fill it out. you'll need tax information and such.  Scholarships are generally given out based on need.\n\nGood luck!

The UCs keep that information pretty well hidden, for good reasons.  UCLA has two programs with community colleges in the Los Angeles region to recruit and assist junior transfers.  My recommendation would be to find a community college you like that is part of the two programs and worm your way to the hearts of the admissions staff there.  Having an admissions person helping you every step of the way is as close of a guarantee as you will get to get admitted to UCLA.

I am not sure about Cali, but I know that in most states local colleges and High schools offer satellite courses for adult ed. Try contacting your school districts for info relating to continuing education. I am almost certain that if you are just looking for the intellectual "pick me up," that you could audit classes at a community college..most times for a very small fee or even better free! Hope this helps!
