Loans and Grants For Single Moms

Archive for the ‘money for single moms’ Category

I am a single mother and I work full time. I make too much to be on assistance and I got a grant and loans through my school to pay for most of my school costs. But is there another grant you can get to help pay for the cost of childcare and other expenses while you are in school?

Single motherhood definitely comes with several extra worries for the mother. You and I know that the task of parenting must not rely on the shoulders of one person. The formative stages of the child is very important and therefore demands lots of attention. Aside this, many single mothers would like to realize their educational dreams.

Even though going to college can be the saving grace for most single women, getting to that point might seem almost impossible due to their circumstances. For many years, women have fought for equality and now the site is no different than before with one exception: they have the ability to command large amounts of money through scholarships and grants courtesy of the new administration.

Here are 4 REAL grants actually given out by the government for college:

1. Federal Pell Grant
2. Academic Competitiveness Grant
3 TEACH Grant
4. National SMART Grant

To apply for these grants, you will need to fill a FAFSA form at the federal student loan aid website. Federal grants won’t give you a ton of money — certainly not enough to fund your education, but the grants can add up to a few thousands dollars — and that sum can certainly help.

Applying for free federal funds isn’t that tricky. You can access many sources of private and federal options by looking on the web or by asking your university counselor for those that he recommends. Either way, grants for single moms are available. You just need to apply for them. Do this today.
