I was single mom working 2 jobs trying to raise 2 kids when I got my pell grant for school. My kids were 8 and 4 at the time and were both in school. They are now much older, at the time they were 8 and 4. I was like many other single parents working 2 jobs. I worked a regular 9-5 job and also worked every other weekend when they were visiting the other side of their families.
One day while I was searching the Internet I decided to see if I could sign up for some classes at a local 2 year college. This way I would have some kind of chance of not working myself to death forever trying to make sure my children would be well cared for. I started looking around for a grant to help me with finishing my education. I had incredible results. There are so many people wanting to do exactly what I want to do! One thing I found odd in my searching was the amount of companies out there that want you to pay for this information, or for help in applying. Sure it was a small fee at first, but then a monthly charge to keep on using their \”help\” for me to find a grant myself.
Guess what? You do not need that. Not at all. You are very capable of going to the FAFSA government website and right there, for free from the comfort of your own home you can start an application for the Pell Grant. You don\’t have to pay anyone at all, this is completely free. Just go there and fill it out.
I have to admit that there were parts of the process that seemed intimidating to me. For instance you have to put in a school code for the school that you want to go to. I had no idea where to get this information for the local community colleges. I wanted to pick a community college because of the low tuition, there is more of a chance that the grant will cover all of the expenses. But all that amounted to was a phone call to the school to tell them what I was doing and asking them for the code.
So all on my own I was able to find the application and start filling out the form, and even submit it to the site. They sent my application results directly to the school for me so that when I was approved all I had to do from there was register for my classes.
You can do it. Whether your a single mom, or single dad! You can get a grant for school for free, it\’s all here for us.
