college education

I am an unemployed 26 year old mother of a 7 year old child. I would like to go back to school because now an associates degree is not enought to live off of in the state of NY. Unfortunately due to my previous employer the company downsized and I was laid off. since then I have tried to search for employment on my own but the cost became to expensive. Now I had to apply for welfare and the employment search assistance program allows me to sit from 9-5 with nothing to do. They will not allow me to go to school in the am hours becuase its unfair to them that they have to work and go to school. I would go to school at night but now my situation turns in to a babysitting issue. I also feel a single mother she be able to be there for her child in the pm hours to help her child better her self in school. Now I am left emptyless and no where to turn .. I have no family I was a orphan of the state sice the age 7 to the age 19. and then released because I was considered an adult and not a child. I am struggling to pay rent by staying with my abusive exboyfriend and living as a prisioner in my home. All I want is my life back. A chance to better my self and become self sufficient so that I will not be classified as another statistic

 

Scholarships are FREE

Scholarships are FREE

Most people going to college get one scholarship and then apply for a student loan to cover the rest of their educational expensis.   This is OK, but student loans have to be paid back.  They cannot be forgiven even with Bankruptcy.  The only way out of a student loan is by dying or becoming so disabled that you can not work.

But there is no need to get a student loan.  You can get as many scholarships as you want to pay for your schooling.  There is no limit on how many you can have.  And you can get grants to pay for all the rest.  All it takes is a little effort on your part to hunt down and apply for these scholarships and grants. 

Go to www.yourgrant.com/scholarship.htm and check it out.  With a little effort and study on your part, you could go to college FREE.

Desperately Need Money to Stay in School

I'm a female senior in college in great need of financial assistance.  I'm majoring in electrical engineering and currently this is sixth week of classes, and I do not a single textbook for any of my classes.  Unfortunately, my financial aid did not cover the entire cost of attendance this semester, leaving me with a balance of $8000 dollars on my account. 

I cannot ask my extended family for assistance because of their own debt.  I do not live with my parents because they are deceased.  Recently, I have been denied for two loans that I applied for because I have not established credit.  The deadline for my tuition payment is quickly approaching.  I really, really, really need a grant or even a loan immediately.  Please help me find the information that I need the stay in school; I truly want to graduate.  Contact me at collegesuccess2b@hotmail.com with any information and suggestions.  Your generosity is very much appreciated, thank you. 

Scholarship needed

I need scholarships.  The school of my dreams is gonna run me at least $30,000 this year.  Though, on paper, he makes a good amount of money, he genuinely can't afford it. 

Looking for help and trying to help

I am currently unemployed and I don't want to take out a loan because I don't want to be stuck the rest of my life trying to pay it back. I have looked for government grants online but I keep getting linked to guides that you have to pay for which is ridiculous since why should I pay to find government grants if they themselves are free. Luckily, I found this site and hoping to find something that I can use. I want to become a health advocate/natural medispa owner.

Minority Engineering Student

I am a sophmore, mechanical engineering major (3.0 GPA) student, currently attending Savannah State University in Savannah, GA. I am in need of some type of aid to help cover the overwhelming costs of tuition and textbooks. After earning a Bachelor's degree, I plan to continue my education at Georgia Institute of Technology and earn my master's degree in Mechanical engineering. I believe my creativity and strong work ethic will make me a valuable asset in the industry.

I am also interested in internship opportunities availiable in any field of engineering. I am most specifically looking to gain experience in mechanical engineering but I value the opportunity to learn from and work along side engineers of all professions.

Currently residing in Arizona, but origanally from Wisconsin. I desperately miss the cooler climate. I am extremelly serious about becoming a business owner but have not had any resources or family/friends to help, and had a series of difficult situations leave me in my current situation.

GRANTS

I am: Veteran, a senior citizen, minority, female, part Indian, displaced and disabled.  Believe it or not people, I am all of the above.

I have been on Soc. Sec. Disability for the past 5 years.  I have lost everything that I owned, except for some personal household things.  I used to own my own home.  But with being sick for years and it effecting my income, I no longer own any property and lost my nice car.

I presently live in the Los Angeles area, where the medium value of a home is $500,000.  It is impossible for people like myself to ever think of owning a home, -or- to rent a nice apartment for that matter.  My income is WELL under $1000 a month.

I would love nothing more than to own my own home again.  I am on the waiting list for the Sec. 8 program here in L.A., but the program is frozen.  And many of the properties offered under this program for renting or buying are in bad condition and in the worst parts of town.  What I would like is assistance in rental or mortgage payments, as well as money for down payment, if that is called for in a purchase.

If you are not able to help me, maybe you can point me in the right direction.  Any help you can offer would be much appreciated! 

Thank You, Barb Wagner

Minority Mother Looking to Open Day Care
I am Minority female seeking financial assistance to go back to school to obtain a degree in Early Childhood development as well a grant to open up a daycare facility in my urban neighborhood. Having 2 children of my own I know what it means to be able to find affordable and trustworthy childcare. After being employed for 6 years at the same company I have come to the realization that there has to be something more for me that is more rewarding than that place. I  have always loved working with children. There's so much that they can teach us as adults. My kids teach me something new almost daily. I have worked at a couple of daycare facilities including a child abuse treatment facility, and have learned how easily impressionable their minds are.......if I could just be that one person that a parent could rely on and have peace of mind that their child is safe and being well taken care of  then I think that would be spiritually rewarding for me.
Looking for an opportunity to achieve something more

I am seeking an opportunity/financial assistance to achieve something more for myself. i am a young woman with tireless energy and great hope. i want to start my own business and then once in a position, i would like to assist others in achieving their dreams but who cannot financially do so on their own. I don't want to be just another statistic who just couldn't find that one golden opportunity/helping hand. i am capable of great things, i know i am.
