Question
Hello, I was wondering if you had any information on educational grant money for low-income, single moms. I attend a private college full-time and wait tables part-time. I have a two and a half year old son and I do not receive any help from his father. Any information would be helpful. Thank you, Have a blessed day. Sara.

Answer
Hi Sara!

No I do not know of any state that gives grant money just for being a single parent in the low income.

Sometimes the Welfare department has a program that pays for education when a parent is on Welfare.  

I would call the school that you are going to and ask them directly.  Perhaps they have private grants or know of a state grant.  They would probably have the information you need.

Good luck!

I was a single parent to my child his entire life. I have experienced many ups and downs that comes everyday with being a single parent. I have learned a lot throughout these years about child support/courts, ways to cope with the daily stress, day care issues, work, ADD, relationships, teenagers, when to compromise and when to not, money issues, discipline issues, etc. I have done an excellent job raising my son who is now on his own and functioning well. I am currently an Executive of my company without any type of degree. My perseverance and strength has gotten me this far in life and work. I learned to understand what I need to focus on in life and what I can`t waste time on, learning to compromise most situations.
