Are there any grants or loans that will help pay for daycare while I am in school?

Some universities/colleges have programs to help with this--check with your school (or the schools you are considering).  If they have a daycare for their employees, they often offer more deeply discounted rates for students.\n\nDepending on the age of your children, I have had profs in evening classes allow children to sit quietly in the back of the room (reading, etc.).  But this would be up to school policy and/or each prof.

Contact your local Human Services office and see if they have any programs that would help you achieve all of your goals.  In some states, they used to have daycare programs to help people in your situation.  I used to work in this field, but it has been a while.  With the funding situation the way it is, I do not know if anything is still available.  Good luck!

Try FAFSA, and sometimes states have loan help too.  Also, I am not an expert but what about any other of your relatives.

As the mother of a college student, been there done that! Go online and fill out a FAFSA. This will determine the amount of grants and subsidized loans your son will be eligible for. Then go to fastweb.com and check out some scholarships, have your son apply for these. (Fastweb won't share your info unless you tell them too and they don't spam you.) If you need more money to pay for college you can talk with the financial aid office at the University about scholarships that they offer, including departmental scholarships, and also about a CAL or Sallie Mae loan. I' ve listed the links below, hope they help.

I would try to avoid loans but see if you can work out an agreement to pay a small amount every pay check you get then go visit the finacial aid office to see if you can get any help there (ask about scholarships too). Then go to fastweb.com fill out a profile and start applying to as many scholarships as you can. If you have too, ask for a personal loan from family or friends and make sure to pay them back at least they won't charge you intrest. Try to work something out where you can pay a little at a time like $30 every pay check. And if you don't work get a job! The school should be able to help you get one just ask.

You could apply for a Stafford Loan. They come subsidised where the government pays the interest while you are in college. \n\nhttp://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2004_2005/english/types-stafford.htm

Your school probably isn't accredited, so they are not allowed to participate in Federal Student Aid programs, nor will your attendance there help you obtain the types of private loans intended for traditional students.  But there ARE private student loan lenders out there who cater to students in your situation.  What you need to look for is a "career" loan.  Try any of these:\n\nSallie Mae: http://www.salliemae.com/apply/borrowing/career_training.html\nStudent Loan Xpress: http://www.careerxpressloan.com/\nSunTrust: http://www.careerxpressloan.com/\nWells Fargo: https://www.wellsfargo.com/wf/student/loans/undergrad/career

The first step is to prepare a business plan. Even if you will not be applying for a bank loan, a business plan helps you to think through your business - what it needs, who it will benefit, how much it will cost, and what is its potential. Here are free business plans on childcare business that you may want to look into:\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/library/pubs/mp-30.doc\nhttp://www.misbtdc.org/documents/BPWORKBK.pdf\nhttp://www.misbtdc.org/documents/CDCPLAN.pdf\nhttp://sbdcnet.utsa.edu/sbic/bplans.htm \n\nOther articles you may want to read:\n\nStarting a Child Day Care Business http://www.libsci.sc.edu/BOB/class/clis748/Studentwebguides/ss02/pollack2.htm\nChildcare.net http://childcare.net/indexnew.shtml\nHow To Start Your Own Day Care Center  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol40/daycare.htm \nStarting a child-care services business http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,290241,00.html\nHOW TO START A QUALITY CHILD CARE BUSINESS http://www.sba.gov/library/pubs/mp-29.pdf\n\nFor in-depth information, I suggest checking out the following books:\n\n- Start and Run a Profitable Home Day Care \n- The Daycare Provider's Workbook \n- Start Your Own At-Home Child Care Business \n- So You Want to Open a Profitable Child Care Center : \nEverything You Need to Know to Plan, Organize and Implement a Successful Program \n\nIt is also important that you learn the tax rules affecting daycare centers, especially if you are going to open one from your home. Here is the IRS page on child care centers: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/industries/content/0,,id=99878,00.html\n\nAs for the licenses and requirements in your state, the Administration for Children and Families provide a state by state listing of contacts for licensing and regulations governing child care businesses:\nhttp://www.nccic.org/statedata/dirs/regoffic.html\n\nIn New York the agency to contact in terms of licensing requirements are:\n\nNY State Department of Family Assistance\nOffice of Children and Family Services\nBureau of Early Childhood Services\n52 Washington Street, Room 338, North Building\nRensselaer, NY 12144\nPhone: 518-474-9454 \nFax: 518-474-9617\nWeb site: http://www.dfa.state.ny.us \n\nFor callers from the 5 boroughs of New York City: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island\nNew York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene \nBureau of Day Care\n2 Lafayette Street, 22nd Floor\nNew York, NY 10007\nPhone: 212-676-2444\nFax: 212-676-2424\nWeb site: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/dc/dc.html

Yea there is stuff out there. I went to grad school, was in a similar situation. I applied, I was eligible for loans, but no grants.

I got a job at the university I am attending.  Most places let full time employees go to school there for free. It means that I can only take classes part time, but I was not up for getting myself into more loans like I did when I was an undergrad, and I don't have enough money saved to pay full price.  \n\nYou've already checked into financial aid, I assume.  Grants are another good place to look.  Sometimes you can even get an award or grant from your undergraduate institution.

Go back to school.  Grants are available and loans can be deferred until you can afford to pay them back.\n\nInvest in your education.

Go through the state. I live in Texas and got a loan for however much I was willing to pay back after I graduated from college. It was easy. (But Im not sure if the state you live in offers this)\n\nIt's worth a try.

Check with your financial aid department.  There should be tons of help for you.

The school that you plan to attend should have a list of available grants and applicatuon procedures.  If not, go to  http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2005-2006/english/types-loans.htm  and you should get all the information that you want.\n\nGood luck!

Have you actually checked with your school? Also check with women's help centers in your area. A lot of times they will bend over backwards to help a single mom get funding for school.

There are a lot of financial aid programs for low income families.  I get enough financial aid to pay for all of my college expenses.  Talk to a financial aid counselor at a college that your son might want to go to and they can tell you how much financial aid you can recieve.  Also, there are so colleges that will pay all of your tuition in your do workstudy.  I know there are two colleges in Kentucky, Alice Lloyd College and Berea College, that will pay for you to go to school if you do a work study job.
