Denise Said:

Are there any good scholarships/grants for returning students?

We Answered:

www.fafsa.ed.gov for grants and ww.fastweb.com for scholarships, but there is a catch, all grants and scholarships are going to require u to MAINTAIN a certain GPA once they have awarded u the grant or scholarships.. only most loans dont require u to have certain gpa

Maria Said:

scholarships and grants for students who parents have passed away?

We Answered:

Talk to the financial aid office of your possible college and inquire what options are available for someone in your situation

Check out Federal Student Aid Web Site or FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/

You may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant
http://ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/attachme…

Or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.p… at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them if there are any programs for you

Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.htm… , you may want to explore private foundation grants

Also check out Fastweb http://www.fastweb.com

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." You may be able to find grants from private foundations.
