Where do I apply for a free and clear grant for higher education as a single African American Mother?
I am looking to increase my income thru higher education. I live paycheck to paycheck and desire financial independence. I believe studies in risk management, insurance and finance will open a world of opportunities. I have googled grants in many different aspects…… only to be flooded with a variety of options. I am looking for an absolute resource that is in place thru the government for women like me. If you have any information regarding solid grant options for education, business and/or real estate investments for african american women or women in general, please forward me your information. Thanks for any help you may lend to the matter?
Best regards,

The best place to get a grant for your college education is by completing the FASFA form. It will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. I recommennd waiting a year before returning to school to get the most in government grants because you most likely passed your state’s financial aid deadline. The amount awarded is based on a percentage of your income and savings along with your number of dependents. I also recommend checking with your company’s human resource office because some places do offer a tuition reimbursement plan. Good luck!
