How to get grants for college?

Question

I live in iowa, married with 2 kids under 2, catholic, Director of Religious Education as well as a Community Support Worker at a mental health center. I want to get my master's degree in social work and I am looking for scholarships, grants, and tuition reimbursment programs. Help would be great. Thank you.

Answer 1

For Financial Aid, apply for the FAFSA. Graduate programs only get student loans, not actually money. If you find a religious school of your same denomination they may match funding from your church. www.fastweb.com has tons of scholarships. There are some programs where you can go to a state school for 2 years and then work 4 years for the government and they pay for your education. My aunt did that at Cal State Long Beach, CA in social work.

Answer 2

Hello how are you? You can find grants and information on grants at Scholarship Support. What I suggest that you do is use a scholarship search. A scholarship search allows you to create a profile and receive information for all the scholarships that you are eligible to apply for based on your profile description. Scholarshipsupport.com actually has 2 free scholarship searches available right now. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
