your question is too vague.  there are a lot of scholarships out there, search under his intended major, if you are a single parent, see if your employer offers a scholarship, hobbies, ethnic heritage, etc. etc.  There is money out there.  Don't bypass the small scholarships, they often never get awarded because no one applies for them.  Your local library will have a scholarship referene book.  don't pay anyone to do this for you.  some websites pretend like they have an inside track, but they just take your money for what you can research on your own.  good luck!

Well, most universities require you to fill out an application form and a financial aid form.  \n\nAlso, at your desired university, there are financial aid councelors that will look at your financial situation and your family's financial situation and help you get all the money you can. Also, you can go to websites like www.fastweb.com and apply for scholarships.  \n\nOne thing though, most scholarships require that you write a response essay to a question that they give. The best essay usually wins.  But the university will have money to give, also. (Don't pay for scholarships. If a site asks you to pay in order to use it's services, find a new scholarship site).\n\nSo, contact your university or look them up online and go to their financial aid (fin aid) site and contact a counselor.\n\nHope that made sense!

You certainly can do so! However, full financial support is never guaranteed.  What you must do is apply to a number of schools, (preferably both Lutheran and interdenominational), and on your statements of application, make clear your need for support.  If you cannot afford to make application to many seminaries, contact them and ask for a waiver of the application fee.  Some may be able to accommodate you.\n\nBelow, I have posted links to the ATS website (Association of Theological Schools), and to the ELCA website (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America).\n\nThe ATS website lists accredited theological schools in America by denomination, and also includes a list of interdenominational seminaries.\n\nThe Lutheran Seminaries you should consider are:\nLuther Seminary\nLutheran School of Theology at Chicago\nLutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg\nLutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia\nLutheran Theological Southern Seminary\nPacific Lutheran Theological Seminary\nTrinity Lutheran Seminary\nWartburg Theological Seminary\n\nThe most prestigious interdenominational seminaries are:\nGraduate Theological Union\nHarvard University Divinity School\nUnion Theological Seminary (NY)\nYale University Divinity School\n\nI strongly recommend you consider Union, because that is where I received my theological education!\n\nBest wishes to you in your endeavor.

PEOPLE to support? you mean, financially? why dont you go to your government, or any organization who provides financial support to people who have low-income and unable to support their studies but are deserving to. i believe they have the program for scholars to continue their studies.

Try your college office for local scholarships specific to the degree your seeking.  Then explore other scholarships such as these below.  Then you can also increase the amount of financial aid you recieve by requesting for that increase based on additional expenses you incur such as car repair, raise in childcare, gas to and from childcare, medical expenses, dental expenses, necessary items you would need to pay for that in some way relate to helping you complete your education.  There are also ethnic based scholarships where there is need.  The way to approach it is that looking for these scholarships is your part time job.  It pays if you keep looking.  Prioritize the larger payouts versus the smaller ones.  And Keep up the good work, it's not easy doing what your doing!

You can also look into getting financial aid and/or grants to go to school....just go to your local community college and there should be a person there that handles that and will know how to walk you through it.  If you start off in Community College you can later transfer to another college once your grades improve.\n\nAlso, Mercy Ministries may be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.  You can find out more about them by going to http://www.mercyministries.org/home.html.  \n\nI'm wishing you the best!!  -It sounds like you need it.  :)

Working for the Lord not pay very well unless you plan on misleading people for money. SO, the job will be what the Lord lead you to.\nReligious Studies work you through a systematic learning of the Bible. Cultures of the times, so you understand things like a man giving you his shoe or Lot offering his Daughters. You learn specifics of every book of the Bible, so, you understand why God do as He do. You may want to learn the Biblical Greek  and if you can handle that then learn the Biblical Hebrew. You study some things like Theology, Semantics and other stuff to help you understand the Bible, God, Jesus etc.\nYouth Ministry, you study some of the above Basics, Childhood Development, Sociology, Teaching Methods, and some Basic Psychology stuff (I find Debatable). You learn of how Youth Programs are organized and how to utilize the Youth into the Ministry. Missionary work and fun trips to do these things.\nThere a lot to learn, but, if, you not want a paper to show on the wall, you can forget the State Core Curriculum (Math, English etc.) Just take the MAIN Studies and Regular World History and World Literature you be surprised what these two can do in your Bible Understanding.\nI learned and just use the knowledge to teach others what they want to know. As, I said, not much pay, but, I have Peace and Happiness. I guess God/Jesus loves me, that all I really want. Hope this helps you, most Colleges of this type learning are Private and Tuition may be more than a State Funded College. But, there are Grants, Scholarship and Student Loans. I highly advise against getting ANY Student Loans, you do not need this Debt right out of College. Some Colleges do have programs you can work on Campus and make some money, they easy jobs.

if you are very poor, and if you have good grades, it is possible. but if you want a free scholarship for nothing, no one will give it to you. you have to work hard for it.\n\nEuropean Universities have one of the best scholarship programs.

I'm assuming you mean grants or scholarships? Because getting loans (Stafford, Perkins..) is pretty easy (although I'd recommend it only as a last resort, considering that you're not exactly heading into a high-paying field.  You don't want to get stuck with years of paying back loans!) A few possible resources:  1) the business office or financial aid office at the school/seminary you're intending to enroll in. 2) your denominational office (whoever's in charge of ordination, licensing, etc.) 3) your local congregation--ask your pastor, your parish council, and/or put an ad in the church's bulletin or newsletter.  You could ask your local church to sponsor you.  If you are currently a pastor of a church, you might check into the Lilly Foundation's program to help fund sabaticals for pastors.  I was at a conference last year where they were practically begging pastors to apply.  Good luck with your search.

Once you get into the school you get an inside track to scholarships, but when you are still on the outside looking in it can be very difficult to compete for the few within the school that are available.\n\nI don't want to leave you without hope though. If scholarships do not materialize and the local public school is unacceptable, consider homeschooling. It is not the easiest road as a single, working mom, but it is definitely doable. There were two single moms right here in our homeschool group. Both moms have graduated their kids to college now. The kids have all turned out great! They worked directly with their kids in the evenings and weekends. During the workday, their kids worked independently. Lots of homeschool curriculum is designed for independent use by the student - video and/or computer instruction, the lessons talk directly to the student instead of having a script for the teacher to read to them, etc.\n\nHomeschool curriculum can be bought used for a low price and at the end of the year sold without loss in value so long as the kids took good care of them. That money then can go back into buying what is needed for the next year. Many homeschool support groups even run curriculm swaps and lending libraries.
