I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/   \n\nYou may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant\nhttp://ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/attachments/0203Vo3MasterFile.pdf\n\nOr you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.pdf at 1-800-433-3243 and inquire about the process of getting grants for school\n\nAside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html  , you may want to explore private foundation grants\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." You may be able to find grants from private foundations.

Loans must be repaid.  Grants do not require repayment.   \n\nThe best start is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid available from the website below. \n\nYou can also speak with the financial aid professionals at the schools you are considering.

There are many grant programs etc.available.  Check with your local and state government.  Also, a really good motivating read is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" It is really straightforward.

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

Apply for a Pell Grant.  It is based on income.  You must first fill out a FAFSA (www.fafsa.org) and have it sent to your school (or the schools you are applying to).  Then you apply for financial aid through your school's financial aid department.\n\nYou will then get a letter telling you exactly what you do qualify for, including federal grants (like Pell), student loans, scholarships offered by your school, etc.\n\nGood luck!  I went through a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree on financial aid!  It's not as tough as it seems once you get used to the process.

You stand a better chance of getting grants from private foundations rather than federal sources.\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month). Their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." So there may be some grants that you can check out\n\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html
