I've never heard of such a thing, just wondering, but it won't be easy to work, go to school, AND be a full-time mom. How does this work? I'm tired of getting new ulcers every month because there's ALWAYS too much MONTH left at the end of the MONEY. I can't count on my son's father for ANYTHING, I've NEVER been able to. I like working for the school district, and it's convenient to bring my son to work with me, but I need to further my education, for educational, personal, AND finalcial growth alike. Any suggestions?

YES....I was in your shoes when my daughter was only 4 months old. Not only was I able to attend Nursing School it was paid for completely with a grant from the state. You have to make under so much money per number of people in your household. I went to the community college here in my city and finished in 1 yr. The grant paid for all my classes plus books and material need (uniforms too). And towards the end, I even had money left over. I would highly recommend you look more into that. They other thing you may need, which will be very helpful, is a support team. Family and/or friends to be able to watch your son during classes, internship (or clinical), and while you need to study for your test.

I don't know about a grant (though students loans anf grants can usually be used for housing). However, most universities (especially state universities) have family student housing. Many people refer to them as "Married Student Housing" -- but when I lived in them at the University of Minnesota, there was a single mother & her son living across the hall from me.
The apartments there were nice, and about 40% the cost of getting an apartment on the outside.
Good luck.

There should be absolutely no problem in your case. If the person attending the college/university needs to live at home, whether it is to help out the aging grandparents or to take care of their son, exceptions can be made. Find the head of the housing offices and explain your situation, and they will help you get the forms you need to exempt you from staying on campus.

Some colleges have special apartments for single parents or married couples, which tend to be cheaper than the apartments available off-campus. There's usually a waiting list, and I've never heard of a grant.
If there's a college(s) you are thinking of, call the admission office, and explain your situation - they can tell you what's available for help. Also, information on financial aid, etc.

Many state colleges have addressed your exact situation by establishing "family housing." It's normally quite extravagant compared to the dormitories, and is very affordable. Contact the colleges you are interested in and tell them about your situation. They will help you find something.

Talk to a counselor or financial aid person at the school you are attending. Good luck.
