I am a young black girl that need money for college.

I am a single mom and interested in going back to school, but need financial assistance. 

i'm running late to register  i need money to go to school in twoo weeks.i'm unemployed. this is to prepare fer future career.

I have a college-age daughter who I am sure is gifted, especially with regards to Art, sculpture, and writing.  Her father and I are divorced, and after the divorce he kind of "took over" everything, including their college education.  Their was a tremendous amount of disappearing money, including money for their college, which my exhusband spent on lawyers. He has chosen a very cheap, local college to send my daughter to.  She is wasting her life and her time and her gifts.  Her father tells her that there is no hope and no way for her to do what she wants and loves (pursue a future in Art).  Frankly,  I know nothing about money and I have absolutely no idea how to help her.  She is becoming depressed.  She is taking teaching courses, which she hates, and I have heard her weeping over this.  She belongs in an Art college and she has to get away from him.  He does not want her to go away to college because he does not want to "lose" her and he is doing everything in his power to disenpower and discourage her.  He tells her there is no money.  He tells her she'll never make a living in Art.  He tells her that her grades are not good enough.  The truth is, her grades are good enough and she can make a living out of Art.  I have to help and I don't know where to start.  My older daughter also needs  help.  She completed four years of college studying something she has no love for or interest in, and now her father is pressuring her to take a job that she hates, and he is not above using false guilt or any mental tactics to get them to do what he wants.   I see it is taking its toll in every way.   They want their father's love and approval, but the price is too high.  The cost is their life and happiness.  The most pressing need right now is for me to find a way to get my younger daughter into an Art college away from here.  Thank you.

All I want to do is to just make the best out of my live and the only way I know I can do that is if I go to college but I need help.

To all who have been led to read my appeal:  I am a single divorced mother of one who does not receive child support.  I value education so much so that I struggled to fund but succeeded in financing without going into debt the cost to acquire a MBA.  Because I am my daughter's sole provider, I must be prepared to provide her with the necessary assistance she will need to attend college.  At this point, she desires to become a Veterinarian.  I feel that obtaining a Doctorate degree will (1) increase my income base and (2) inspire my daughter to strive for excellence academically resulting in full scholarships.  I am the first in my family to pursue this great feat.  However, when accomplished, my family will never be the same.  My goal is to start a trend that will last for generations.

Hey my name is Shay and this upcoming September I will be a sophmore at Elms College. Unfortunately I was not awarded as much financial aid this yr as I was last year, which leaves me to pay 700 a mth. My mother can only supply about 300 a mth leaving a good 400 left to be paid. This means that I may not be attending school come the fall semester. I am looking for grants in any amount possible to help me in continuing my college education.

Thanks, Shay

I am a single mother who returned back to college last year.  Originally I worked full time and attended school part time, but lost my job in march of this year.  I have enrolled in school full time and have been actively seeking night employment, but am now terrified as I don't have any money coming in to pay my rent, car payment, and other household expenses and expenses for my son.  My son is in his high school marching band, concert band, and symphonic band and I hate to make him quit something he loves, but I don't know how I'm going to be able to pay for the expenses. 

Please help!!!!

Hello everyone. I am writing  because I am in need of assistance. I am in my freshman year at college and I find myself in a real bad situation. I am trying to start my second semester but because I still have an 1162.00 balance to cover I am unable to attend class. Well I am far away from home and My mom is a single mom with three kids and she has exhausted everything she has to help me through this year. I am the first in my generation to graduate highschool and go to college and I want to set the example for all of my family and be the one to break the cycle. It is a major struggle. The school has granted funds and I have taken out several  loans to cover tution, i am on work study and my mother has depleted her retirement account and I still have a balance to cover.  I ask if there is anyone out there that can help me cover this balance as we have no where else to turn.   I would so greatly appreciate it if anyone can assist me in covering this balance. please help ...

I was a single mom for 8 years and I went to court to get support and I had to hire a lawyer. After my son was 17 I finally received  back support but I still had a 30,000 dollar debt from the lawyer I had hired.  Instead of paying the lawyer I used the back support to put my son through school. Now The money lasted only freshman and the first semester of sophmore year and now I need money to pay the lawyer and for my son's college.
