Is there a college grant for Veterans children?I am wanting to go to college and I have been told that there is a grant for children of vets.
Is this true and what would I need to apply?
Im 27 and my Father was in Vietnam.
I havent talked to him in 11 years, so also how would I go about applying for the grant without him around. ( I dont know where he is )
Any advice would help me out alot!

If you’re talking fafsa I don’t think they cover that, I got an email saying they will only cover my fall and spring classes, and I too signed up for summer classes. You should talk to your college counselor at school. They deal with that kind of stuff.
Is it possible to get a college grant if you have lyme disease? Or if you get open heart surgery?I have lyme disease. It’s causing problems with my heart which may result in me needing open heart surgery. That will use up all of my college money if I end up getting it. We don’t even have half enough money for college to begin with. Is there any kind of grant or scholarship or something for any of this?
Please link me to anything if you know of a good site.

First, make sure you have filled out the application for Federal Student Aid at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Second, there may be scholarships out there specifically for this. You could start by signing up with www.fastweb.com (it is free), and seeing what is available there. Applying for scholarships does not hurt you! Apply for as many as you can!
Third, get yourself to the Financial Aid Office of the college you are planning to attend. Sit down with one of the advisors, and tell them about your situation. It is possible that there are special scholarships, grants, or other programs at your school for people with extensive medical expenses.
Most importantly, don’t give up!
should i have to pay to secure a college grant for my daughter?I’m about to get sick,i have a daughter who is a freshman in college and i know that things can get expensive.She has gotten the financial aids that she qualifies for,but she is living on campus and needs more money for other things.I don’t make a lot of money or does her mother.I can’t afford to pay back any loans at this time and i don’t want to get into that type of debt right now.Can i as a parent apply for monies that i don’t have to pay back for my daughters education?I have a company calling me saying that they can secure a grant for my daughter for a fee of $ 449.I don’t want my daughter to have to leave college,so can someone give me some direct sources to appy to that can help us?

Never,EVER pay .Anything that makes you pay for a scholarship or grant.You can start by taking that $ 450 you were gonna waste and put it in a CD or savings account for her and let it gain interest.I wish I could be more help,but the first step is tonot be suckered into wasting what little you have.

Hi.
This sounds like a scam to me.
If there are grants available then you do not have to pay for them.
What happens to leftover college grant money?i got $ 7000 in grant money for college this coming year ($ 3500 per semester) and i probably won’t use up all of it during each semester. each semester costs about $ 3000. what happens to the leftover money? and can i buy music gear with it? i’m an architect major. can i buy the music equipment if i take a music class?

If you’re at a 4-year college or university, the college will take out whatever you owe them and send you a check for the remainder, which you can spend on anything you want. If you’re at a 2-year college, the college takes what you owe and the rest goes back to the government (you only end up taking out a loan for the exact amount you need to pay tuition).
This is a very good question. As a peace-time veteran, not in the Vietnam war or those that followed to now, I only know of college gratuities for those veterans who were killed in action who had dependents.
Otherwise, you should contact the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Request an appointment and let them explain to you the ins and outs and ask you questions, such that you may as well provide documented proof that you are indeed the son of a Vietnam veteran. There may indeed be a provision for this, in particular if your father has some service-connected disability, which can be inferred by the VA that this posed a hardship on his dependents — your mother and you and your siblings.
Join its that simple and if you want to go too school now join the Guard and by all means find your Father and patch things up
Here’s a good place to start

No grants are free from the government.
a real grant doesn’t have to be paid for to be secured. take out a life insurance policy if you’re that worried about your daughter being okay if something should happen to you. There are real grants out there that you can apply for to help your daughter.
Hmm…I’m gonna guess that’s a big ol’ scam. fastweb.com has a listing, constantly updated, of available scholarships. Have her register with that and sart applying for these scholarships. Is she doing a workstudy program or has she checked that out? If not that, is she working any kind of part time job right now?
Basically by saying 449 to secure a grant is saying buy our software that costs 449 and it will show u or guide u into writing a grant. I know that u can search for scholarships on line to apply for that will help out towards schools. As far as grants, I recently graduated college and I have a loan payback starting next month so I was intetrested in buying the grant software to help get a grant to pay off my loan. Here is the thing, government grants are out there, especially for minorities and women. The grant program should give u access to the grants available as well as show u throught the process of writing the grant. U have to apply for like 5 grants, keep the copies and wait like 90 days and if u do not get offer the grant, u send the software back and u get a refund. It will be time consuming to fill out these grants epecially if they are large amounts. So u are not paying for a grant, u are paying to get info so u can fill out all the paperwork, but the good thing is u can apply for all kinds of grants and if awarded u receive this money that u never have to payback.
