government grants for continuing education?

We Answered:

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy.

heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; they too always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Is a grant available for continuing education?

We Answered:

No.

You must be enrolled in an accredited school in a program of study leading to a degree in order to qualify for any Federal or State financial aid. You cannot just take random classes with no ending point and no degree.

How do I begin a grant for continued education to high school students to honor the memory of a loved one?

There are several questions you have to ask yourself before you can set up a perpetuating grant fund to help college-bound students.

First of all, you have to ask who the recipients are going to be, because that will help you figure out how you're going to be able to best promote it. If, for example, you thought that this loved one's memory would be best honored by assisting the students from a particular town, or high school, then you would probably want to contact either city hall, or a school administrator or school board member. It's not enough to offer a grant or scholarship - you want the existence of these funds to be promoted (somehow) to eligible students deserving of the assistance.

Another aspect of proper planning will be to develop the criteria that will be used to identify the lucky recipient. If the loved one had a particular hobby or an academic subject that he/she really enjoyed, you might want to award the grant on the basis of potential or promise in that particular domain. Or - you might just wish to award any deserving student - in which case, you'll have to figure out how to identify the "most deserving". Grade point average? Family finances? Standardized test scores? One thing you'll discover is that a lot of candidates will have compelling stories that will touch your heart - how will you choose which one(s) to award the grant to?

Another important consideration is the perpetuation of the award. In most cases, an ongoing grant is funded through an annuity. The grant donor purchases some sort of annuity investment, and dedicates the interest generated by the annuity to the payment of the annual grant. That way, the grant can continue to be paid out, year after year, rather than just once. If that's what you are hoping to see happen, you'll definitely want to solicit some reliable investment advice, because it will take a rather large and stable investment to generate annual interest sufficient to continuously fund an ongoing grant.

What I would suggest you do is contact a school administrator and a financial advisor. You and these other resources should be able to come up with a reasonable plan that will satisfy your wishes to honor the memory of the loved one.

I hope that information helps you get started with your planning. Good luck!
