I am going back to school in August. I will apply for scholarships but, I wanted to know about goverment grants for school and how can I go about applying for them. I really can't take out anymore loans for school I am already in debt with them. Can someone give me some insight.

It might be a little too late for scholarships since many application deadlines have already happened. However, it might not be too late for Pell Grants, but they are dependent upon your family's income and savings. I will list some free resources to locate tuition money for college.
First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 of your senior year of high school. It will qualify her for need based financial aid from the federal government and the school itself. It will come in the form of scholarships, Pell Grant, student loans, and the work study program.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!

Start with the financial aid department at the school. They will know better than anyone what's available and where the scams are

YOU SHOULD FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR FASFA
YOU MIGHT QUALIFY FOR PELL GRANTS
