I’m looking to go back to college, I graduated back in 2003. I’m a single mom and I work one full time job. I’ve been searching for grants that can help me further my education and I’ve applied for the pell grant and another one. But that leaves me about 5,000 short for school. I don’t want to have to apply for a loan because I know they check credit and that takes off points on my credit score. Does anyone know of any charities, business, government grants or scholarships that award or give money for college? I don’t know if it helps but my major is digital movie production.

If you have your bachelor’s degree already, you do not qualify for the Pell Grant at all. The Pell Grant pretty much pays for one degree. However, there are scholarships out there. If you are planning on attending graduate school, there is the research or graduate assistant programs which pays for your tuition and a monthly stipend. I will include some free resources below to find money for college. Good luck!

I received some stock grants from a company. I recently left. Can I do anything with my grants? I remembered hearing about a 3 year term or something with them.

I don’t know what you mean by a "3 year term" on your stock grant, exactly… I think what you meant to say is that there is a three year VESTING term on the grant?

Vesting means that you have to wait a certain amount of time still being employed by the company before the stock is truly yours. It’s an incentive to stay working for the company.

This means that you would have had to have worked for the company for up to three years more from when you received the grant to be fully vested.

This can mean one of two things… that your stock grant is vested a little at a time (i.e. a certain percentage per month or year) until you have all of it at 3 years, OR that you have to wait the full three years to get ANY of it.

If you have to wait the full three years, and you left before the three years was up, I’m sorry to say, but you forfeited your shares when you quit.

If it vested a little at a time, and you left before the three years was up, you may have some shares available to you based on how long you stayed after you received the grant.

If you stayed the full three years, congratulations, you are vested in the stock and it is rightfully yours and probably just sitting in an account somewhere.

But here’s the important part… if you’re vested in any portion or all of the amount of the grant. It shouldn’t matter if you’re still with the company or not. They are yours.

So the first question you need to find the answer to is if you were vested for any or all of the grant you received. The HR person at your previous company should be able to point you in the right direction.

When it comes to government grants, it is not simple to obtain the funds that are provided by government agencies. There is a lot of bureaucratic paperwork to be filled and many actions to be taken in order to qualify for such government aid. Moreover, there is a particular issue that needs to be taken into account when applying for financial aid through government grants: The timing for applying.

Government grants are not available all the time and you need to be well aware of this fact in order not to let pass by an opportunity just because you did not know that there was a time limit for submissions’ presentations at the government agency that provided the financial aid. Thus, when it comes to governments grants, time is of the essence.

Government Grants Explained

Government grants are awarded by government agencies to those who meet certain eligibility criteria that the agency defines. Grants are a form of financial aid that does not need to be reimbursed and thus are greatly demanded. That’s the reason why there are such strict requirements in order to get approved for a government grant.

One of the requirements is obviously, to request the grant by filling the appropriate forms attaching all the documentation and information required by the government agency. There is always a period of time in the year when requests are received at the government agency and there is a very strict policy regarding non receivable out-of-date applications.

Timing Is The Key Word

Thus, in order to obtain a government grant successfully, you will need to prepare yourself. It is important that you collect all the information needed to present a government grant request and that you find out which is the proper time to apply for the government grant. This information can be obtained from the government agencies’ internet sites that usually have a grants section.

Also, there are many sites on the internet offering resources regarding government grants and detailed explanations on how and when to apply to each particular government grant. In any case, you should always confirm with the agency this information as any stipulation may change with a mere resolution from the agencies’ head. You need to pay special attention to the period when applications are received and the due dates. A mere delay of a single day may cause immediate rejection of your application.

Federal Register

Each time a government agency makes funds available through government grants, they are required to announce the terms for approval and the period for application presentations in the Federal Register. The Federal Register has a web site you can consult and so do the government agencies. You will be able to find there all the information you need in order to successfully apply for a government grant. There are also some sites that take the job to put all the information from each agency together and present it in a user-friendly manner. Some of these sites also offer assistance on filling the applications and advice as to which grant to apply and how to do it in order to boost your chances of getting approved.

I have a 1 year old daughter and I would really like to go to college, problem is, Money is starting to get really tight due to gas prices, economy ect. Are there any grants that help out single mothers?

FAFSA is the first step (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Some schools do have special grants for single parents. Each school is different, though, so you will need to do some research. The Admissions rep or the Financial Aid Office at each school can let you know what’s available.

There might also be private scholarships for single parents. Try www.fastweb.com to see what you can find.

Good luck!

I heard there are hundreds of different grants you can apply for out there when it comes to school. I.E Orville Reddenbacker makes you write an essay of why you love popcorn and they give you a thousand dollar scholarship, scholarships for people with red hair, etc. Where can I find all of those, is there a list online or a book? I really want to go to school so Im looking for all the help I can get.

To be considered for any federal grants, first you have to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid – www.fafsa.ed.gov). This will generate and EFC (Expected Family Contribution) that schools use in conjunction with their COA (Cost of Attendance) to determine what your aid package will be.

There are many, many different scholarship opportunities out there. Here are some links to get you started:

If you are still in high school, then you should also talk to your guidance counselor for information on any local or civic scholarships for which you could apply.

You should talk to a financial aid officer at the school you wish to apply to for more information. Good luck!

On the radio this morning, in St. Louis, I heard that you can get federal or state grants (NOT a loan – they clarified) for home repairs by looking at economic grants. The woman said that the government has these grants because they provide work to people and improve communities. She said you don’t have to have a low-income and that the only requirement is that you live in the house for at least two years (or move out within two years, something like that). I cannot find this information anywhere. Can anyone help direct me to the right website?

Does this sounds to good to be true?
