Is there grant money for single mothers going back to school?

Speak to the financial aid department of the school you are interested in going to. I got a Pell Grant for being a female over 35 returning to college. It wasn't a great deal, but any amount you don't have to pay back is great.

Also, student loans don't kick in until 6 months after you have graduated to give you time to find a job. The loan rates are low so you are straddled with a huge payment.

The best sites I have found for scholarship research is FastWeb: Scholarships, Financial Aid and Colleges or Scholarships, Scholarship - ScholarshipExperts.com.. Good luck.

I also received a pell grant for being a single mother before I married my husband... it is all based on income though... good luck. Onec I was married I was nolonger eligible because I had two incomes and it pu us over the mark... good luck. There is help out there. Look into scholarshiops... there is a scholarship for everything now a days.
