Google "Pell Grants" -- but be careful -- my husband got a 25 cent raise at work and it was canclled half way through school - it was sad.

Want to get on? Whatever you want to do job-wise, having the right qualifications can give you a real head start. If you missed out on getting qualifications at school, why not go back to college? It’s never too late to learn new skills – and if you’re eligible for ALG, it could be more affordable than you think. People who go back to college later in life often find that they’re more focused and determined that they were first time around, and tend to have a clearer idea of that they want to study. Get new skills and qualifications – and get paid up to £30 a week ALG is there to help out with costs like travel and books while you’re studying for your first full Level 2 qualification or first full Level 3 qualification. Level 2 qualifications are equivalent to five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C or NVQ level 2. Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to two A levels or NVQ level 3. Options include courses related to: business (including administration and law, and computer skills) construction (including plumbing and carpentry) sciences (including physics and psychology) health and care (including childcare and counselling) services (including retail, hairdressing and catering) media (including website design) If you’re an adult studying full-time at college – and you qualify for ALG - you’ll get up to £30 per week during term time. Looking for ideas on what to study? There’s a huge range of courses you could do with ALG. But there's plenty of help and advice available to help you choose the one that's right for you.

For college, 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/attachments/0203Vo3MasterFile.pdf Or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.pdf at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them if there are any programs for women of your age Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html , you may want to explore private foundation grants The government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying bills, no grants for paying off credit cards, no grants for getting out of debt and no grants for simply fattening your wallet. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant. For one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant. There is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved. You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes. Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
