School Grants for Single Mothers

College is a pricey endeavor no matter who you are. It can rack up thousands and thousands of dollars and cost as much as buying one’s first home. Paying for college is that much more difficult for single mothers.

Having the time to balance school and a child is one thing, but paying for childcare on top of tuition, living expenses, and book is quite another. Single mothers have expenses that are unique to them.

This is why it is harder for such women to return to school. Thankfully, there are many funding options available to make this transition that much easier.

If you are looking for funding for school, you should definitely look into grants. Unlike scholarships which are merit-focused and loans which have to be paid back, grants are basically free money.

If you are a single mother looking for funding for school, grants are really the best decision. You will receive the funds you desperately need so that you can take care of your child while returning to school. The following includes some basic tips for how to apply for and receive college grants for single mothers.

Look Into Federal and State Options

First off, you need to know that your federal and state government want you to succeed. After all, a country can only thrive if its people are thriving. Thus, you can be sure to find some great college grants for single mothers via your government.

The federal government has grants like the Pell Grant that are focused on helping those who are financially in need find funding for school.

Additionally, many states have programs for everyone from low-income families to adults who are returning to school for the first time. The type of grants that a state offers will depend on the state itself. Different areas provide different types of funding. Take the time to poke around on the Internet to see what government funding you qualify for.

Often, once you fill out the FAFSA, you will receive word on whether or not you qualify for these funds via your financial aid summary. If you have questions about why you do or do not qualify, please contact the financial aid offices of the schools. They will be able to provide you with more in-depth information.

Consider if You Qualify for Minority Grants

Diverse group of women

There are many minority grants out there.

Think about whether or not you qualify for such funding. For example, you can find grants for everything from those who suffer from learning disabilities to ethnic minorities like Native Americans and African Americans. You can apply for a range of grants to see which you will receive.

No grant is too small to apply for. If you are single mother, then you know that every little bit definitely counts. These grants can be incredibly specific or very vague. Try to apply for anything that you might remotely qualify for. For example, you may find grants for left-handed Asian American mothers or you may find grants directed towards people who have learning disabilities. Be honest with yourself about whether or not you could make a case for qualifying for such loans and get to applying!

Women-Focused Grants

Historically, women have had to deal with big gaps when it came to how they were treated in comparison to men. If you are looking for college grants for single mothers, you should look for women-focused sources of funding.

You can find specific college grants for single mothers via many women-focused organizations. And of course, there are grants for women of all types from corporations, non-profits, and professional types of organizations. These funds are meant to close the wage gap so that women receive the same training, payment, and education as their male counterparts.

Search Online

If you want to find stellar college grants for single mothers, you need to use the Internet. This is one of the most important resources you have at your disposal. You can use the Internet at local libraries and cafes if you do not have it at home. This will enable you to compile a list of possible grants for which you can apply. Knowing what’s out there will enable you to find grants that could really help you pay for school while raising a child.

The great thing about the Internet is that you can really share information with a range of people. Take the time to read websites, blogs, and forums focused around scholarships and single mother issues. You just might hear about college grants for single mothers you didn’t know about before.

Take the time to really engage with other people in these spaces. You never know who will hear of a small grant that could do everything from pay for books to help you pay for childcare expenses.

Check With the College

You never know what different colleges and universities may have to offer you. When looking for college grants for single mothers, take the time to see if the organization has any grants that they give to women, single mothers, and adults returning to school after an absence. It really doesn’t hurt to ask. You just might find the funds you need.

Ask Single Mother Focused Organizations

There are a lot of groups out there for single mothers. Turn to single mother support groups and professional organizations to see if they have funds to support your education. Many of them may have grants that could help you pay for both tuition and for living expenses.

Similarly, think about organizations in your community that may offer such funds. Many religious and non-profit groups run small grant programs for people in the community. See what they have to offer you so that you can really explore each of your points.

Get Organized and Collect Documents

Once you have a potential list of schools and grants, it’s time to get organized. Make a calendar that has all of the deadlines in place so that you can work ahead and really stay on top of them.

Organizations that give out grants will not often grant exceptions to their deadlines. This means that you really need to be at the peak of your game. Turn in applications in early so that if they are lost or damaged, you can then send replacement documents without it being much of an issue. When it comes to securing money for school, you really can’t afford to play around. This is the investment of a lifetime.

You should also make copies of all of your important documents. This will help you figure out which schools and which grants need which documents. Request many copies of your transcripts, letters of recommendation, and tax forms. These are some of the most commonly asked for documents for grants.

Lastly, keep track of which grants you send off so that you can receive confirmation that they were received. You may want to include a self-enclosed-stamped envelope for this very purpose. This will ensure that your application has been processed so that you won’t have to wonder if it was lost in the mail. Keeping detailed records is important because you may be able to look at a past application to help you on new ones as they pop up.

Double- and Triple-Check Your Work

You never want to submit a grant application that has errors on it. Instead, be sure to proofread everything from the application forms and documents to your essays. If you spill food or drink on paperwork, take the time to start over. You want to show organization that you are professional and polished. To ensure that you submit error free work, have loved ones proofread your applications.

This could mean the difference between you receiving a grant.

Explain Your Situation in Applications

When you apply for these grants, be clear about why you need this money. This is a time to really explain how difficult it can be to attend school, raise a child, and earn enough money to live on while paying tuition. Do not shy away from the realities of this situation.

Of course, you do not want to play the victim. Instead, be specific about how the funds will help you succeed in life and really create a solid future for you and your child. There are many college grants for single mothers available today. You need to show organizations that you are responsible and focused so that the groups then see that you are a valuable investment.

Being a single mother can be a full time job. There are many groups out there that have funding to help you do everything from fund your tuition to find daycare options for your little ones. Take the time to really craft strong essays and applications to different grant programs so that you can find the money you need to attend school. An education is an important investment for a family.

If you have a degree, your job options will expand and you will be able to really provide a stable life for your child. Take this research and application process seriously so that you can have a bright and shiny future for you and your child.

I had to spend the last of my money ($1,000) on car repairs. We have 3 dogs that are now split up and they are living temporarily with different people. For my son’s sake I need a home so that he can have some stability back and so that he can have his dogs back with him again. I will be graduating in 2013 and plan on starting my career and hopefully going back in to college after graduation to further my education. I just want to make my son proud and give him a stable home before he leaves in 2014 for the Air Force.

I know there are grants out there for single mothers who are trying to better their lives but, I am hitting a brick wall. It is frustrating since I know that there are people out there that do not really need the help and are able to get it. I am not about to give up on my education for the simple fact that once I have completed it, I will be able to ensure that I will always be able to stand on my own two feet.

    Hello,
    I am a 50 year old divorcee and single mother of an 8 year old. Since becoming a single parent, a lot of things have changed for my daughter and I as a family, but one thing that has not changed is my desire to provide a bright future and set a good example for my child. I am currently employed as a banquet server and while I enjoy my job very much, I am not getting very many hours because I cannot afford child care for more than a few days a week. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to return to school and get my degree in massage therapy or cosmetology, both areas that I am very passionate about. If I am fortunate enough to be selected for a grant, I would be able to pay for child care and devote time to my studies. Having a degree, would mean that I can now have a career which allow me to provide a home where it is safe for my daughter to go out and play. It would also mean that I can set aside funds toward her education and I would like to use my work and my life to show my daughter the importance of paying it forward when we are blessed. Thank you.

    I am a single mom of two boys ages 9/12. I have been hanging in there trying to pay for my classes even if its one at a time. I need one more class for my associets in Criminal Justice. At this time I can’t afford to pay for my class which is just another set back. I heard there were programs who help single moms so they can pay for school. I am one class away even though I want to further my education in the future. My associets would be a good opprotunity for my boys an I.

    Reading this article did provide me with valuable resources. Thank you so much. Not only did you specify the difference between grants and scholarships, you directed me on where to look, how to apply and the necessary formulas to consider-just incase. Federal grants,State grants,Community College grants, etc.. I was always under the impression that the Community Colleges and Private Institutions provides this, and that is all there is to go by. I see now that it takes personal commitment to obtain the many additional resources awaiting. As a single mother planning to complete college, next year, this is no longer an overwhelming distressing situation. Thanks!

    Hello, I am a single mother of a beautiful 16 month old. I am currently dependent on my mother who is on disability income & my grandparents when they can afford to assist. This income is about to cease as I am financially affecting their ability to provide for themselves. There is no father in the picture for child support. He is in prison for 8-15 years. I am doing this alone & I desperately want a life where I can be self reliant to provide for myself and my daughter. I love my baby with all my heart and I am prepared to do whatever it takes to provide a good life for her, as she deserves the best and should not suffer from my poor decisions. I will do whatever it takes to complete my goal of obtaining my GED and then completing a Cosmetology program. I am appealing to you for compassion and help. Please contact me as to where I can obtain assistance. Please help myself and daughter become a self reliant family & offer me the power & ability to provide her a better life. Thank you for your consideration and kind cooperation. Emili Bryant

    Hello, I am a 29 year old single parent. I am currently in a nursing program which took me about 10 years to get into due to my financial situation. It is impossible for me to work full-time and go to school to be able to afford school and a living. I would have to work 40 plus hours a week. By earning a scholarship it will help me pay for school so that I can be able to complete my program. Please help so I can accomplish my dream in becoming a nurse and set a great example for my daughter. Thanks in advance!

It’s really scary thinking about my age and not being able to provide for myself and help my children some. Tragedies like divorce happened and suddenly I found myself alone, depressed ,passed middle age with a gloomy future. I have to go back to school to sharpen my skills and knowledge but I have no financial resources. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated because I feel at the end of the rope .
