ask about the ollege access funds, sometimes called hardship funds, ALL colleges and universities have them but the funds are limited so apply early.\n\nSome charities and educational trusts give money to students, try EGAS they will send your son a form and then identify possible sources of funding, although to be honest they tend to have been set up in the days when men found work easily so women stand more chance as do those with a disability.\n\nThere is a huge reference book called something like "grant making trusts" - you will find it in the library but it is normally only for reference.\n\nI went through the entire book identifying trusts that may help me, I put these on a database, I then did a mailmerge and wrote off about 200 letters, I got about 20 replies and funding from about 6.\n\nOne advantage of this kind of funding is that it does not count as income so is not taxed and does not affect dss benefits.\n\nYour son stands more chance if one of his parents is a member of particular groups such as freemasons, or a member of the clergy or even the geografical area he lives in.\n\ngood luck.

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

Arrange for your school to set-up a trust-fund at your local bank and ask students and their families to donate (advertise on the radio, paper etc...).  Another good idea is to have a collection taken at your local churches.\n\nEven better, make sure he has good friends that can support him through this tough time (sounds like he already has a good friend... you!).

Probably the best is to contact the school. Some schools have scholarships that are given based on needs. Please specify where you live so people can give you specific advice.

Sallie Mae, the school will handle it. Your son or daughter gets loans, grants, aid, work study in some combination. The loans are like 3 to 5% i think. You only pay them when he or she drops out or graduates.

Ok this is when you go to the financial aid office and request a meeting or request an appeal with FAFSA. The best way to go about this is to speak with the head of your financial aid department and find out the procedure for your individual school. I am a college student and have gone through similar situations in the past. Just walk into your schools financial aid department and tell them your situation.

File for the FAFSA.  One of the questions asks if you are a ward of the court or an orphan.  This gives you the same status as a single parent which (at least in my experience working with students) gives you an EFC- expected family contribution- of 0.  While this doesn't guarantee you a full ride, it does put you in line for all the school scholarships, grants, and great loans (as opposed to crappy bank loans.)  Visit fafsa.ed.gov to apply.  Also, I recommend fastweb.com for scholarship searches.  Hope this helps.

I would contact the school.  You should have already gotten it long ago...our funds are in our students hands the week before a semester starts.  It may vary from school to school...but you should have it for sure!  GOOD LUCK! :)

Don't be afraid to call local colleges financial aid offices, they should be able to tell you what options are available, and maybe even help you apply, or at least point you in the right direction....and you can always look on the net under scholarships, I imagine if you look under grants, you'll be getting alot of unwanted emails! so  I'd try scholarships first.

fill out a FAFSA form, in one of the questions it asks if both of your parents are deceased.  you will be considered an independent student and will receive more financial aid.

The best way to get help for your son is to get someone who can truly give him individualized attention with the assignments he is specifically struggling with. The problem with these learning centers (and yes - I took my son to one when he was in 6th grade) is that they just give your son more work instead of specifically going over HIS work to help him understand what he needs to do to understand the actual work he is getting at school.\n\nCall your local college or university -- many college students are extremely happy to help tutor kids, and are appreciative of the extra income.

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.

You could apply to the Financial aid office of the university/ HE institute you will be attending. Usually most facilities have some sort of scheme which may or may not be available to you. It never hurts to ask.
