Why no higher educational help for me but tons for an unwed mother?

We Answered:

Seriously? You think young single mothers have some super big government advantage when it comes to going to college? The only plus they could have is that they are considered independent due to the fact they have a child to support, which means they might get a tiny bit more aid if any at all, and it certainly wouldn't cover every college expense with the outrageous costs.

It's not right to jump on some high horse and blame unfortunate circumstances on someone in a worse position than you, and no doubt a tougher one. Your mother and father at least covered your loans (and I can tell you, that's fortunate.) I understand your frustration, because I'm working right now instead of in college because I can't afford it, my mother can't afford it, and I can't get loans because I have no credit history or cosigner for that matter.

It seems like the only thing really holding you back is that you don't want more loans and you're bitter about the fact that other people are getting a little help, much less "Unwed mothers" because a ring means more than anything when it comes to having children.

If you want to go to college, best thing I could suggest is that you go ahead and accept the situation for what it is. The government isn't going to run in and pick up your bill anytime soon, and they don't do it for too many people either. You can take out more loans (believe me, if your credit is half decent, it is possible), work and save for school, try for some scholarships that are based on grades or essays. There are options. They may not be pleasant, but no unwed mother ruined your college career or chances.

1977 National Women's Conference Plan of Action success?

We Answered:

Some of it has been achieved. Discrimination in lending has mostly disappeared, the federal government does a lot of gender based analysis, there are laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and Title IX is generally enforced.

But a lot of things haven't happened.

-The ERA wasn't passed.
-There are many health plans that cover Viagra (!) but not birth control. Which is frankly, ridiculous since childbirth costs insurance a fortune, but companies have learned they can force women to pay for it.
-Women pay more for health insurance.
-Child care is very expensive in the US and gets less government funding than it does in other Western countries.
-Homemakers do not get social security.
-Rape is rarely prosecuted and even when offenders are convicted, they generally serve less time than small scale drug dealers.
-Roe v Wade has been severely curtailed in the last 30 years.

How Do I Get Grants and Scholarships for an Educational Trip?

We Answered:

the kind of trip you are telling is not an Educational Trip, rather, it is for personal purposes. if you are allowed for that kind of trip then everybody would be allowed also. an Education Trip is a kind of trip where it involves about your study; or if you are the representative of that institution or school where you are attending at; sponsored by the institution/school itself.
*so to answer your quiz, i don't know how you can raise money for that, but probably, you need to be privately sponsored by someone or any organization that has interest in you.
