I'm trying to help someone with finding "Grants" and have no idea where to begin. Can you search the internet for such things? If so any suggestions would be of great help..

There are four sources for grants and scholarships.
First, there is a list of scholarships at your high school guidance office for current students attending your school.
Second, FAFSA.ed.gov will help you tap into both federal and college assistance programs.
Third, typically the college financial aid will list some outside scholarships from private companies and organizations.
Finally, there are free membership scholarship search engines. Some are updated on a regular basis.
There are a few things to keep in mind when applying for a scholarship or grant. Apply well before the deadline. Pay attention to the company's or organization's website since it can give some ideas for tackling the essay portion on an essay.
Good luck!

My husband, my brother-in-law, and my sister-in-law all started college later than the average bear. So they were typically the oldest person in their classes. Your maturity will probably work to your advantage because you will be more disciplined to study, do your research, pay attention in class and all that jazz. Those things are essential for a successful college experience. The only other thing I would suggest is be sure to join study groups and things of that nature if you are able, but don't get caught up in the college scene. It's distracting, typically involves immature activities, and just not for a mom that has a goal in mind for her future and the future of her children. And do your best not to talk down to the youngens that think they know everything and will say really unrealistic, incredibly stupid things in your presence. Just be smile and tell them you will find out soon enough. Don't want to make enemies or hurt the feelings of the babies you will be in class with. They are babes, they just don't know it. Study hard, don't give up, and when you get discouraged look into the sweet face of your babe(s) to remind yourself why you are working so hard.

there are several different websites fastweb.com and booksmart.com are pretty good but there are tons of them... just dont pay money for any of them... you can also go to the library and get books on how to find grants which is probibly the best way because theyre less used

Go to Fafsa.gov. Fill out the form and they will tell you if you are qualified for a grant and how much you can have.
