How can a single parent with no income get money for school?

When you say you were ';denied'; for the FAFSA, what do you mean? Do you mean your EFC was a very high number, so you were not eligible for a pell grant or even a loan?





Everyone who applies receives an EFC, This amount determines your estimated family contribution.





Do you mean it is to late to receive aid for the current semester of college?How can a single parent with no income get money for school?
This might be easier than you think. The first thing you need to do is go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Apply for a pin if you haven't already, and begin the application process. Once all of your data has been inputted, its just a matter of time as far as how much the prospective colleges/universities are going to award you. The application process takes about an hour. If its a little too daunting to do the application yourself, you should be able to get some assistance at a financial aid office in an area college or university.





Additionally, if your child is very young, many colleges and universities offer some sort of childcare. At least they do in my area. Good luck!How can a single parent with no income get money for school?
Here is a link to FinAid.org. It is a website that lists all kinds of financial aid programs. I took out loans to pay for my school. I'm sure there must be scholarships for single mothers. And if you are a minority, there are tons of scholarships and grants to help you.
