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.

I just graduated from Highschool a few months ago and I am a Young Mother with limited services. I live in California (Bay Area) and remember someone telling me about a Grant, Fund or scholarship that Pays for college and childcare for single or young mothers(not really sure).

i remember looking for it online a long time ago and found it but it said that i wasnt eligeble if i signed up for financial Aid. I was going to go to Brooks-sv but they called me today to tell me that they were closing the school due to unsufficient funds, or something like that, and that my Application was terminated and so was financial aid.

Now, i tried looking for that same Single parent Grant but cannot find it. Does anyone know about it and where i can apply for it? I want to go to the Academy of Art but it is more expensive so, i really need that Grant….

Government grants for single mothers provide the extra help which is needed by these mothers in their difficult times. The life of single mothers is already very difficult with long working hours, household chores, children’s’ upbringing and education etc. In between all these, they spend their life trying to make the ends meet and they often forget to live a happy life.

Federal government of United States accepts the troubles of these single moms. That is why the government set aside millions of dollars in the form of grant every year to help single moms. And the best part about these grants is that they don’t have to be paid back to the government. You just have to be entitled for the grant and you get the money. But the regrettable part is that very few women are aware of these grants, let alone applying for them.

The variety of types of grants available for single moms contain educational grants for single moms, grants to run small business etc. These educational grants are very helpful for single moms because they can be used in two ways. They can either go back to school to complete their studies or they can go for higher studies to improve their skills which would help them lift the standard of living for themselves and their kids.

The best place for looking for these grants is the internet. There are various websites dedicated to grants for single mothers. You can also check the government’s website on grants which has all details about grants along with eligibility criteria and application procedures.

This will help you find a appropriate grant for yourself. In addition to the government grants, various non-profit and private agencies also provide similar grants. You should do some research online and know about these too. It is always better to spend some time researching them before actually applying for the select ones.
