Scholarships for mothers? Advice please?
Here is my situation. I recieved financial aid from 2004-2006 and then became pregnant. I did not know I was prego because I did not have insurance and it never crossed my mind because I was on two forms of birth control. Anyway, I stopped attending classes because of the morning sickness but handed my work in online and communicated with the instructors by e-mail. The instructors said that it was fine and some even told me I didn’t need to come in and take the final exam because I held an A in the class. Well when the semester was over and I recieved my transcript the instructors had failed me. I even recieved a letter stating that I had forfeited any future financial aid because I was considered a drop out.
Now that my child is older I just want to finish school, because I only need a few more classes. I’ve searched online and all I find are articles stating that there are many scholarships available for single parents, unemploye or employed etc. But I never find the actual scholarship stating to write an article and hand it in and I’ll be notified if I’ve won. I did find scholarship.com or fastweb.com but don’t want to create an account.
Anyone have any advice on my dilemas? Any info is appreciated, I just want to finish school.
oh yea, I’m a single parent living with my parents. 23 yr old.

As a fellow single parent, I have yet to find a scholarship for single parents that is credible. Have you spoken with someone at FAFSA (look on the website for a way to contact them), and explain your situation. They realize that there are extraordinary circumstances and exemptions to every rule. Explain what happened, and you will probably be able to qualify for financial aid once again. Do you work full-time. If you’re living with your parents, then your expenses should be very low… save your money and pay for the classes out of pocket. Or, you can take out a student loan for the few classes that you have left. Good luck!
