Question
I was hoping to find a list of single mom grants, I would like to continue my education so that my two children as well as myself a better life. I don't know how I can go to school full time and hold a full time job. Is there a grant I can get that could help me with living expenses as well, so that I can go to work part time and school full time. With two children, I have to have a full time job which makes it hard for me to go back to school, but if I could get something to help me with living expenses while in school then I could work part time. PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer
Hi Kristena!

I do not know of any grants for single parents....I did attend a community college part time when my son was young taking management courses and I could not find any grants.  So I ended up taking one course at night time per session.

Perhap use the search engine on the Internet for Grants, then weed through them.

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.
