I am so sorry that this has happened. I would go to your local Social Security office and ask did the deceased parent have enough work credits to entitle the child with survivor's benefits. Also, if the parent had a lawyer who has a copy of the parent's will or life insurance policy, life insurance from their employer, and money not yet issued from their employer, then the beneficiary should be entitled to the money or the surviving child. Also, look into if the parent was entitled to retirement benefits that included what would happen to the benefits in case of death, had investments in the company that the parent worked for or elsewhere because the deceased parent's estate is entitled to that money.If the child is seeking a college education, you can look into government grants that is specifically for children with deceased parents. God bless you and take care.

In general--not sure--if you mean money for school, definately--talk to financial aide--look it up online for scholarships, etc.
