I am desperatly wanting to go back to school. My two issues are that I still owe my community college around $300.00 with no means to pay it back(I'm currently collecting welfare). Besides having a extremly low-income and being in debt to my college, I'm unsure if I want to study in accounting or in physcology. Do you have any advice that would be useful to me??? How are the on-line college degrees viewed in the work world?? HI my name is Danielle I am 28 and a proud single mother of a 8month old boy. I am desperatly wanting to go back to school.

I received my associates in accounting from University of Phoenix in Jan 09 and will have my bachelors in Nov 2010. I plan on continuing to my masters, passing the CPA exam, and then obtaing my doctorate in business administration. I am only getting federal grants ans students loans so I really need other grants ans scholarships for my classes plus I'm looking for assistance with grants for housing, vehicle purchase, debt repayment, and business startup. I have searched online but it is overwhelming and no real step process to apply. I need all the information I can get! Any suggestions? I am a single mother of a sophomore in high school.

I was accepted into a school that offers a LPN program. It will cost me $15,000 to go there. I am going to recive $5,550 from a pell grant and that leaves me with $9450 still to cover. There is a WIA grant that I am trying to get and I will find out how much that will cover within the next two weeks. I know it wont cover the rest of my tuition is there a grant/scholarship out there that will help out in the nursing field for single moms?

Have you tried talking to a financial advisor about your situation? They may be able to help you figure out how to handle your finances better. Have you applied for a grant? Have you filled out the FAFSA form for financial aid assistance? Look for scholarships that you may be qualified for! Best of luck! EducationGrant Editor Lori,

Anyway, I agree (may it be scholarships for single moms or dads) should be granted to those who are really needy. Not just because they are single moms or dads, they are entitled to get that scholarship. Requirements to pass that said program should be observed to make sure that the programs are given to the most deserving ones.

You should be able to apply for financial aid, regardless of the school you are planning on attending. To make sure, I would contact the financial aid department of the school you are planning on attending, and ask them about the financial aid they offer. Either way, to apply for financial aid, you will need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which is located online at the U.S. Department of Education's website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Visit out Pell Grant page: http://www.educationgrant.com/grants/pell-grants/ for more information on Pell Grants and other grants that you may qualify for. Grants are gifts of money that you don't have to repay - that is, if you qualify for them, and then receive them. Your FAFSA form is your Pell Grant application, so fill it out and see! Search for scholarships in your town, state, from organizations and establishments in your community, local business, corporations, etc. Ask the school you are planning on attending what scholarships they offer. There are also student loans you can take out, although you will need to pay these back over time. And they will earn interest. Try and find financial aid packages, grants or scholarships before considering a student loan. Best of luck! EducationGrant Editor Hi, Thanks for reading!

With plenty different services available. I want to go to school to be a Cosmetologist, but have no way to pay for the schooling, housing, vehicle, child care, and everything else that goes with being a wonderful mother. Is there anything that can help pay for Cosmetology School? They are not set up for financial aid either. I am trying to open a family business hair salon. With plenty different services available.
