Where is the best place to look for educational grants ? I want to send my daughter to boarding school, of course I cannot afford it. I have looked on the internet at grant sites but have been unable to find any.

Most boarding schools offer scholarships that your child may qualify for. They usually aren't full scholarships, because they want to make sure that they have the full commitment of the parents, but they can cover a significant portion of the tuition expense. In fact, at most boarding schools a significant fraction of students do not pay full freight, but rely to some degree on a scholarship. I suggest that you call around to a few schools that you're interested in and ask how it works.

In addition, there are organizations that specialize in matching up inner city kids to prep schools. If this fits your situation, check out:
