Are grants the best source of free$$out there for single moms? If so, how do you apply. I lookd all ovr online

Answer 1

yes there is (for single moms); many from your local or state womens orgs, comittee's etc too. look in your phone book and call every womans org in it. also ask where else you can call.

heres a list, you may need to contact some of these places and ask when the deadline is, what they offer, what they require (usually an essay) etc.

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy.

heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Answer 3

I am not sure if you have 6 or seven kids..but that doesn't matter..if i was you i would bring them to the welfare office and leave them there for whole day, so thee unappreciative workers there will learn their lesson I am sure your lovely kids don't go hungry..just look at you How they can even think that? Take the kids with you and you' ll see, all of your inquiries will be taken care of in no time

Answer 4

i am assuming you mean $$ for collage/tech school, if so go to the school of you're choice they will be happy to tell you how to apply. to list all that is available would wear my hands out typing.
