I am looking for a legit scholarship for myself for children who live in a single parent household. All the ones I find are for the parent to go to school and not the child. I know there have to be some out there but i can’t seem to find them. help! thanks!

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 have never been prejudice before and just today, I’ve had feeling come thru me that are horrible. I’m a 35-year-old single mother of two, I’m a Veteran, and I’m employed full time. Therefore, I want to go back to school to get my bachelor degree in Human Services. I’ve applied to the school, I’m ready for classes and I’m looking for scholarships or grants on the FAFSA website. I plug in all my data about myself from my sexuality to my hobbies, I get 223 pages of scholarships, and I’m like wow! Nevertheless, I’m now on page 22 out of 223 and so far I have to be; "a child of employees of direct member companies belonging to the Automotive Recyclers Association.” "must have at least 1/4 degree Indian blood from a federally recognized tribe." or "be an African-American, Hispanic/Latino, or Native American" or be current member of the NAACP and must not have reached the age of 25 by the application deadline"
What happened to a basic scholarship or grants? Any suggestions to other website

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….

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.
