We are a middle class family. And do not qualify for any Pell-Grants (did not qualify by a few points). We live paycheck to paycheck like many American families. I work a part time job, have 2 kids, and am enrolled in College part time. This will be my third semester back to school. I currently have a 4.0 GPA on my way to a degree in Early Childhood Education. I was wondering if there were some scholarships out there that I might qualify for? Any little bit would help! Thanks.

A good place to start is with the guidance center at the college you are attending. They will have numerous resources on scholarships, some directed specifically for women preparing to return to the workforce, and for particular areas of study, such as early childhood education.
Also check out the various sites online that are available too.

Doula is right. Your college financial aid office would know - or the school's early childhood department head might know too.

Are you or your husband or parents members of the VFW or American Legion, But agreed, the schools admin should have lists of possible funding.
