1. figure out what school you want to go to
2. complete the FAFSA to see what federal and state aid you qualify for. http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
3. Go to the financial aid office of the school you appied to and ask if they have any additional scholarships you can apply for.
4. Look into daycare for you children - some colleges have babysitting coops. If yours doesn't you can start one. A babysitting coop is a group of parents that trade babysitting duties. You might babysit for all the children in your group one night each week and get the other nights to study. I don't think I explained that one very well so IM me if you have any questions.

I think it's great that youwant to go beack school. Alot of women figure since they have children, they have stop all of their dreams. one way to get funds is to research on how to write a grant proposal to get money to go back to school. the government has money just waitingfor you to write to thm and tell them your situation. Make sure you search on how to write the grant correctly. alt of people don't even know that grant money exists but it does. You can receive grant money for school, going back to school, a house or apartment, for a small business, etc. and grant money does not have to be paid back as long you put forth a serious effort, be successful, and make a profit. I think this is a really good suggestion for you. God bless!!

i believe i can if you want to someone to pay for school for join the military you're not to old for that might i suggest the us airforce thats where i served. i did 6 years i'm out now and i can still go to college and my mntgomery gi bill will pay for it. or you can contact your local library go in there and ask them they can give you several different alley ways for getting government grants and loans and so forth. i hope this helps good luck to you and i applaude you on being a single mother and taking care of business and not becoming a victim of what a childs father is not there or perhaps willing to do. on behalf of good men out there i'm sorry for you having to be a single mother. good luck to you

go to the college and apply for scholarships. there are lots of scholarships that you dont have to pay back. i went to school with grants and scholarships and we made it ok.
i didnt get loans that you have to pay back but you can get guaranteed student loans that you do have to pay back.
i say go for the scholarships and grants like the pell grant and state grants. if you got a ged, they will give you grants for school if you score high enough.
you can do it. just go to the financial aid office at your local college and fill out the forms.

Firstly, perhaps you should apply for Ontario Works, to assist you financially within your home. Being assisted through them, in turn they will also assist you financially to get started, depending on the institution. Once applying yourself through Ontario Works, in turn check out course studies that best interest you, and where you wish to retrieve your education. Once doing that you can start applying on line for OSAP.ca. It's easy to do, however time consuming.

well, i would say community college would be the start. your local campus should have an adviser that will be able to help you fill out necessary forms. The www.fafsa.edu.gov site should be able to get you on your way.
