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

If you are looking for one large grant to cover everything, that may be contributing to your lack of success.  Try applying for as many *smaller* grants as you can -- they do add up.  Some sites to consider:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\nhttp://www.srnexpress.com\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\nhttp://www.scholarships101.com\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\nhttp://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\nhttp://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nOther places to look:\n* your local high school\n* your local library\n* your local clubs/associations/churches\n\nAdditionally, she should look on the websites of any organizations related to her course of her study -- a lot of organizations will offer scholarships that aren't highly publicized because they are so specialized.

don't worry about past mistakes, there are grants for everyone. i've given this same advice to like 3 other people. the best place to start is at your local library or bookstore. look for an author named Ben Kaplan. he delivers the easiest to read system for finding scholarships and grants and the grants and scholarships in his book almost everyone qualifies for. plus he walks you through each step of applying and even has examples of winners' entries. here's a list of his books.

Well.....since NO ONE else has given you valuable information as of yet....I wanted to let you know that the top two places to look for college money are State/Federal loans and Scholarships/Loans from the actual college you are going to.\n\nAlso you can use online loan finders:\n\n#1  http://www.fastweb.com/\n\n    http://www.estudentloan.com/\n    http://www.salliemae.com/\n    http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DirectLoan/student.html\n    http://studentaid.ed.gov/\n    http://scholarships.com/

yes - FAFSA and fastweb are two good sources.\n\nwww.fafsa.ed.gov and www.fastweb.com\n\nThe college or university you plan on attending will also offer scholarships but they have deadlines - apply asap\n\nEven though the applications appear to be complicated the really are not - so don't pay anyone to do it for you

http://ww.fastweb.com... used this service about 9 years ago when i went back to school at 28-30.  my BEST advice is pick a school (probably going to be close to you now?) and visit the financial aid office.  their job is to help you help them get money. they really have a lot of information from years of service.  other sources are any jobs, organizations, skills, past hobbies, etc - they can be very weird yet valuable criteria for some scholarships...YES IT IS TRUE ..there is a scholarship for a red-haired, left-handed golfer....i've seen it.  use the web. find a school. then start from there, know how much college costs before you start looking. communitie colleges are a GREAT VALUE for the first 2 years. best of luck. 3 peices of advice.  1. always sit in the front row. 2. be an active participant. 3. work in groups when possible, but if you cant - study, study, study.  and as my old man always said."Remember this son, you are paying them to teach you. YOU decide the value of your education." \nas a ps.the "foundation library" in any major city library will have alot of nonprofits listed that tell who and why people got grants from them, and you can use it as a reverse lookup....see who got the money and what you have to do to qualify......alot of money goes unclaimed, at that point the scholarship committee will usually accept ANY applicant (very very little known fact) so as to "spend" the money given to them.....even if you are a blond- haired, right-handed golfer......
