Does anyone know if parents can apply for scholarships?
Hi we have a college kid and is going to a 4 year college but did not get a single scholarship. Just a few grants every year and we have lots of student loans too.
She did apply for some on fast web way at the beginning, But got discouraged at how difficult and time consuming they are to apply; plus with a part time job and full time classes, its not something that is appealing for her to do on top of other things.
My question is this: " Are there any scholarships that PARENTS can apply for so that they can go towards the tuition of the child?? I lost my job and will definitely have time to apply on her behalf and maybe get a few scholarships for her.
I dont know if anyone knows of this kind of thing but if you do, I would appreciate any info you may have. thanks
FYI, I am in the USA & she is getting her Bachelors in Animation in a 4 yr college accredited by any univ.

Filling out scholarship applications is worth the time that it takes, she needs to just get with the program like everyone else. Students have to apply for their own financial aid, you can get a Parents PLUS loan, but that is all that you can do. If she is already in college, she can apply for a major specific scholarship from the department if her G.P.A. is high enough. You also have to realize that only 10% of financial aid comes from scholarships, most students don;t have any, but for some reason new students seen to believe that they are everywhere. Even if you can find quite a few, they are never worth very much, most aid comes from grants and loans.
