Are there any college grants out there for students with retired parents in thier household?

Question

Both of my parents have been retired for a two years now, and I was wondering if there were any grants avaliable to because of thier retirement.

Answer 1

Grants are usually awarded on the basis of income.  If your retired parents income is low, you may get a grant for this... not necessarily for them being retired.

Answer 2

There may be the Pell Grant...but it is open to everyone below a certain income.

You may be qualified for certain scholarships depending on what ever your parents retired from (Military, Railroad, Police, Teachers, various corporations, etc) You will have to look for those or ask your parents if they have it in their retirement.

There are other sources of financial aid. You should contact your school's financial aid office.
