Grants for Low Income Students
College is no longer the domain of the wealthy. The abundance of financing options means that people from low-income backgrounds can afford tertiary education. This can be a life-changing opportunity. If you and your family grew up barely making ends meet, college could be your way toward a well-paying job and greater social mobility.
Today, people who can’t afford to pay for college out of pocket can pay for it through loans, scholarships, and grants. Loans belonged to the middle classes, who had good enough credit to qualify for them. Grants, meanwhile, were usually for people who were destitute or belonged to disenfranchised communities. This created an ignored group—lower-income families who weren’t quite in the poverty line.
What is a Grant?
As simple as it is in principle, grants aren’t a well-known option. Many students ignore grants, which is essentially turning down free money. College grants cover the costs of tuition, books, and other school expenses. Once you qualify for a grant, the money is yours. Often, the only requirement is that it is spent on school expenses.
There is no need to pay back a grant. Unlike loans, which must be repaid with interest, grants leave no lasting impact on your personal finances.
Compared with loans, grants are also much easier for low-income students to obtain. A poor financial standing can make it impossible for you to get a loan with a good rate. Meanwhile, these same issues mean that you more than qualify for many of the most common government and institutional grants. That is, of course, you sign on to them in time.
You do not need to be well below the poverty line to qualify for low-income college grants. However, your parents’ income will also be considered. This is not a deal-breaker. You may still qualify if you can prove that they cannot cover your tuition. This is optimal if your parents or legal guardians do not have stable credit.
It takes a lot of work, but with the right choices, you can get an education that could’ve cost you thousands of dollars practically for free.
Federal Grants
The Federal Grant Program was designed to promote accessibility to post-secondary education for low income students. The most common federal-funded sources of money are the Pell Grant and the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant.
The amount of money awarded to the student is dependent on the individual’s financial standing. The sum is calculated through a formula designed by the U.S. Department of Education. The main factors are as follows:
- The student’s expected family contribution
- Cost of attendance at their school
- Whether the student attends full- or part-time
- Whether the student attends for the entire academic year or a single semester
Most schools participate in the federal grant program. Ask if your school participates in the Pell Program before signing on.
FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your ticket to federal grants. It is managed by the Office of Federal Student Aid and disburses about $80 billion in financial aid to about 14 million applicants each year. Schools also use the FAFSA to determine eligibility for their school’s individual financial aid awards.
A FAFSA application takes an hour to fill out if you have the necessary documents before you begin. Today, it can be accomplished and submitted online. You’ll need information from five separate categories:
- Information about the student
- Student’s dependency status
- Student’s parents
- Student’s finances
- List of preferred schools the results of the FAFSA should be sent to
Here are some of the important details you should have on hand:
- Your most recent tax return
- Your parent’s most recent tax return
- Current bank statements
- Current investment records
- Records of any untaxed income
- Driver’s license
- Social security number
- Alien registration or permanent resident card
After filing a FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report and the your designated school will receive an Institutional Student Information Record.
Improve Your Chances
Many low income students need more than what federal grants can offer. This is when it becomes necessary to look for other grant options. The minority grants and those offered by private organizations and companies. To improve your chances of being qualified, there are several tips to consider.
Apply for Several Grants
Do not put all your eggs in one basket. You are almost as likely to be rejected as accepted. By applying for several grants, you increase your odds of getting accepted by at least one of them.
Be Honest
Make sure you fill out each application with accurate and honest information. When a program is giving a substantial amount of money, chances are that much of the information you provide will be double checked. If they uncover even one lie, no matter how small, it will likely be grounds to disqualify your application regardless of its strengths.
Have References
Find three or four dependable references to vouch for you. Choose those who are trustworthy and carry an air of authority. Teachers, volunteer organizers, pastors, and work managers are ideal candidates. Grant programs want their money to go to someone deserving but they don’t have the time to get to know you. References can make the difference between otherwise identical applications.
The references you choose can also work to your advantage. Having a volunteer organizer or pastor as a reference, for instance, suggest that you are active outside of academics. This is a great selling point for many grants. If you are not already involved in community activities, now is the time to start.
Be Punctual and Organized
Start your research and apply as early as you can. In junior year, look for all the low-income grants you could qualify for and make note of their deadlines. Keep meticulous, organized records of each grant to avoid confusion when time comes to submit them.
Watch the Money
Be careful not to have too much money sitting in your bank account when applying for low-income grants. Without appropriate context, those reviewing your application might mistake high savings for a high income. Removing extra savings from your account is not lying as long as your with your income and financial documents are honest.
State Level Grants
Many states offer grants and financial aid programs to further the development and growth of colleges within their boundaries. In most cases, states provide grants for low-income students, minority students, or students in high-demand careers. Inquire at the institution you plan to attend; visiting the financial aid department will likely provide information regarding the state level grants they accept.
Minority Low-Income Grants
Students that are Hispanic, African American, Native American, and Asian more often qualify for low-income grants offered specifically to minorities. You might even uncover grants for majority students if you belong to specific European communities such as Polish, German, or Irish. If your school needs to meet a quota for ethnicity, this will work to a minority’s great advantage. Be prepared to have proof of your heritage.
Private Organizations and Companies
Unlike the FAFSA, there is no standard application for grants from private organizations and companies. By dedicating time to research, you can find many that suit your individual pursuits. Some grants are given based on the field of study. Many healthcare industry organizations, for instance, provide grants specifically for nurses.
Other grants are based on personal circumstances. Coca Cola offers grants to students with the honor of being the first in their families to attend college, or come from a disadvantaged background.
Be Careful
There are many scams floating around the internet. Too many students have become victims of identity theft due to a fraudulent website that promised grants for low-income students. Do your research before giving out personal information. Make sure you interact only with trusted organizations.

I am a sophomore at Dillard University this year. I was recently informed that I have no/am not eligible for federal aid and I must take out a private loan for school. Every loan that I have applied for, I have been denied. I have no credit, and I do not have a cosigner. My mother has no job and my father passed away. I really need to get back into school. Do I have any other options?
Hi, i am a single parent looking for money for my daughter to go to college.I am on disablity and do not have enough money for books and tuition, i greatly appreciate the help. She is going to school for Phyical Therapy.Thank You Vrey Much
I can tell anyone who may read this post, Mrs. Conrads post is a big reason why people dont want to offer grants or assistance. Grammar and spelling are required to present yourself in an educated fashion. If you have been “accepted” to a college or “university” it would help for you to be able to at least spell properly. If you dont hold yourself to a higher standerd, no one else will either. I can appreciate your wanting to be a nurse as I am a paramedic. But… that being said if you dont spell and use correct puncuation your never going to get anywhere in life or nursing because you wont be taken seriously. Good luck to all.
I’m trying to find a way to pay for college now.. I don’t want to get kicked out of school just because I can’t afford it.. Somebody please help me.. I really don’t know what else to do..
Thanks..
I have been to college and allowed myself to get caught up in the excitement. I am looking for an opportunity at redemption.

Hi my name is Sarah, I have been accepted to the University of Dubuque. I want to be a English teacher. But I don’t know if I’m going to get to go since I live with my grand parents,who live on social security and disability. I will be a first generation to go to college. I will graduate May 2012. But there’s no way my grand parents can afford to send me to college so if I don’t get grants and scholoships I’m not going to be able to go. My grandma is so proud of me that I have been accepted at DU but I’m afraid it’s only going to be a drean. I do work part time at our public libary but that’s not going to be enough to send me to college. When my grand parents took us in seven years ago to keep us out of the system, we are abused kids. My grand parents had to re finance their home to build on bed rooms for me and my brother. So please if there is any way you can help me I would be greatfull.

Hello everyone! I grew up in a family with four children, one older sister, an older brother and a twin sister. In third grade my dad obtained a job that demanded his presents in Saudi Arabia allowing us to see him just twice a year. After all of the terrorist attacks his job was deemed to be unsafe and our family called him back home, bringing on a huge income loss. Since then my father has had three major hip replacements. One of which gave him a deadly staff infection leaving him dependent on an IV for 3 months and many hospital stays, preventing him from being hired at any work place. As of now, our house is running soling on my father’s social security and mother’s income who is only able to work three days a week due to old age and arthritis. These past few years have been financially hard for my family, still paying off my older sibling’s student loans. My parents should be retiring but they are now in the process of filing bankruptcy and losing our home. As a result, my parent’s don’t qualify for any parent loans making it almost impossible to find money for my soon to be $130,000 dental hygiene bill. Likewise, as a young college scholar with little credit I do not qualify for many student loans either. Even with financial aid, the financial burden is still abundant to what we can afford. Without any scholarships, my dental hygiene pursuits cannot be completed at USC. My email is tammybrokaw@hotmail.com if you know of any scholarships that could help!

I am a single mother and currently attending college as a full time student. My son and I are having to live with my parents due to me becoming single after 22 yrs. of being with his father. I am having so much trouble trying to find a part-time job and start my life over again, but I won’t give up. I have no income and desperately need to move out of my parents house. I had to spend the last of my money ($1,000) on car repairs. We have 3 dogs that are now split up and they are living temporarily with different people. For my son’s sake I need a home so that he can have some stability back and so that he can have his dogs back with him again. I will be graduating in 2013 and plan on starting my career and hopefully going back in to college after graduation to further my education. I just want to make my son proud and give him a stable home before he leaves in 2014 for the Air Force.
Hi. I’m a sophomore at Humboldt State and will be going into my 3rd year in the fall. For half of my life, I have been working at the same job, but it hasn’t been enough. My parents have been supporting me through college since I have no way of doing so. But in less than a month, my dad will be retiring from his pastoral job in Berkeley. This is devastating because my mom does not make any money. There will be no income from my parents. They have to rent out our house of 17 years (I have a lot of memories there and feel myself breaking because of this). Having no job, I am forced with two options. It is incredibly hard for me to make them while approaching exams at the end of the term. I either do what my parents don’t want me to do which is take out loans and debt all in the same or live back at home and live with family members while going to a community college. The one problem with this is that the Wildlife classes I need to take are at Humboldt. My heart yearns to return back to Humboldt or at least stay in the area and attend College of the Redwoods. I can’t do this without scholarships. Somebody please help me! I’m on the end of my rope and don’t know what to do.
Grateful to anyone who reads this.

Hi there, my name is Candice and I really want to get back into school to become a vet tech, but cannot afford it. I am finding it nearly impossible to find a better job than what I have now.

I am also half Mexican & half Irish, so I must fall under some kind of grant program. If you could help me out that would be great!

Hello, my name is Vanessa King and I have a daughter in college. Unfortunately I became unemployed in January 2011 and my daughter is in need of more money for college. She did receive some grants and student loans but it is not enough. She is struggling trying to learn without the textbooks she needs. The college did lend her one book (on emergency) but that was it. The bookstore will allow you to rent books but I cannot afford it. I receive no unemployment benefits whatsoever. I am boarding with a relative (thank God for that) and it is just so hard. I just want my daughter to receive the education she so rightfully deserve. I don’t want her to suffer because I am unable to provide the what she need for college. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. My daughter attends Benedict College in Columbia, SC. Please contact me if you can help. My email address is kingbeauty79@yahoo.com

My 20 yr old son is a new student (began at the end of September) at MMI in Phoenix. The day after returning to Arizona from our home in Portland,OR (from christmas break) his appendix burst. He has spent the last 11 days in the hospital in Phoenix. I was able to be with him only because my parents were able to fly me here. His father and I are unemployed painting contractors due to this lousey economy and do not have medical insurance to cover this cost let alone the funding he needs to stay in school. We can’t afford to cover the gap between now and the time he gets his next financial aid installment as he has to repeat the last course due to absence from surgery.We are praying for the financial miracle for him to stay, get well and find work to sustain himself. He can not find work while under a doctors restrictions. Any help or guidance is appreciated. Lowery2249@gmail.com

I am 56 years old and finally went to school and finished high school. I graduated in may and now want to go to school and become a nurse. However, I really cannot afford college. Anyone know of any grants for women over 50 interested in pursuing a higher education?
I have so much to say, but don’t know where to start. I could start with my childhood where my parents were drug addicts. Perhaps I could start with my pre-teen years, the years when I changed my mother’s diapers at age 10 and pushed her around in her wheelchair. Maybe you’d like to know more about my father’s love for our family, and how he gave up his successful career to raise four children and take care of his wife with multiple sclerosis. I could start with the years I remember most, my teenage years. These years my mother died and my father became an alcoholic. Instead of resorting to alcohol myself, which my entire family did, I hid in my room and studied. Three years after my mother died, my father’s addiction was still dominating his life to the point that he attempted suicide three times. In his 3rd attempt he succeeded. Here I sit at age 21, one year after my father’s death I’m in seek of help.
My younger brother, John and I need help financially. Everyday is a struggle between bills and staying hopeful. We don’t have much, but we have each other. The one phrase that keeps us motivated is “our past may define who we are, but it does not limit us.” Any help given to us would make the world of difference.

I am going to be attending Clary Sage College in Tulsa, OK. My school doesn’t offer on campus housing. I am moving to there from Vermont. Are there any places I can get a student loan or assistance for off campus housing? I’m not looking for a large loan, just enough to cover till I get a job out there. I know and have been told such loans or assistance does exist but I can’t seem to get the right places. I ask the school and they told me to go to the credit union they are signed up with but then the man at the bank said they can’t give me a student loan for housing assistance since the school doesn’t offer housing! That’s why I am getting the loan for housing assistance. I’m stuck and need help bad. My classes start in less than a month and now idk what I’m going to do cause I was under the impression I could get the loan through their bank! Someone please guild me in the right direction! You can contact me at megcamp0827@gmail.com

I am a first time, undergraduate. I qualified for the grants and even loans, however, I’m out of work. I apply for jobs everyday but I have no income. My problem is, my school’s financial aid office not only could never give me an amount of time my loans and grants would take but now I’m halfway into my semester and am late on rent, no money for gas to get 2 and from school and am basically high and dry. I have poor credit, no luxury of having friends or family to help with rides or money, but when I ask for help and explain my situation to my schools financial aid office I get a shrug shoulder reaction and the same 4-6 week answer every 2 weeks. Is THIS how the schools and government expect to help people actually get their education ??? It seems that the schools just want your tuition money from the grants and loans and then once they got it on the way they forget all about you and the welcome to our school attitude goes right out the window. It’s especially sad that this is how FIRST TIME students are treated as well. I’m not alone when I say Disbursement times and also the lack of respect for students needs to change because we are building from nothing while you have a job !

I need money to live in compus, for a room at UNG .near the Athens city . My farter is retire, mom with no job .Thank you ! Vlad I am in the first year for computer science.
I was so excited when I got the mail about having been considered for a partial scholarship to pursue an LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law. my dream almost came true. My hopes were however shattered when I found out the general cost of living in Geneva was extremely expensive.
The Geneva Institute of Humanitarian Law and Human Rights informed me that in order to be able to live in a students accommodation facility, I must have at least CHF 1600- 2000 per month for close to a year.
To be honest, it is impossible for me to raise that kind of money.
It is my request, if possible that you kindly consider me for a grant to fund my accommodation and daily subsistence and by doing this you will have helped a young African woman achieve her dreams.
Thank you.

Hello,
I am an undergrad student at Mississippi State University. The State of Mississippi just recently raised the cost of tuition at the State Universities and I will not have enough funding for school and for rent as well. I am in desperate need of help with a grant to help me pay for my cost of living while I am attending my last year of Veterinary College. If you could, please send me an email to the attached email. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!
I am a single parent looking for grants to help cover the cost of tuition for my son. Can you please help with providing scholarship information or grants that are available.
My name is Bria Lee. I am 20 years old from West Philadelphia. I got accepted to my dream college Drexel University for Entertainment and Arts Management. My tuition is about $69k+ and I simply can’t afford that. My mother has put my 2 older siblings through college so her credit is jacked, it’s hard to apply for loans. A grant would be a blessing.
I am trying to attend college this December 2017. I am a single mother, currently on sec 8 housing hearing impaired. In severe debt with medical, and other things. I am trying to go back to school to further my education and prepare to send my son off to college in two years. I lost my oldest child in march 2014 to sickle cell disease. I need a car, since I had to give the one I had back because it costs too much to repair it and its payments along with insurance. I am receiving soc disability, which I plan after my education to get off. I am in need of a laptop and internet services to accommodate me with fulfilling my educational needs. I plan to enroll in Kaplan for psychology. I am trying in all aspects to improve my way of life for myself and more so my son. Please email me banksdesiree1@aol.com

Hello. My nephew is scheduled to start college this month. He has a scholarship and was set to live on campus. But something happened with the housing at the last minute, so now he has no place to live on campus.

I was wondering if there are any Grant’s that he can apply for to provide him with housing for at least the first year. Please contact me at Quietstormblows@aol.com if anyone can help him. He will be attending CSI in Staten Island. Thanks in advance.

Being accepted to Indiana University Of Pennsylvania was the most wonderful thing ever. While only being able to attend for one semester, I had a GPA of 4.57, worked two on campus jobs, and participated in 2 clubs. Despite all I done, I am not able to pay for my tuition due to not having a creditworthy cosigner, and being from a low income family. We moved to USA from Puerto Rico in order to have a better living. My family won’t be able to pay for my education, I am all alone to pay for it yet the school financial aid and bursar office has given me no hope. Because I cant register for the Spring semester, nor I cant get my official transcript to transfer my credit. Its all a mess due to not being able to pay for my education. If anyone knows how I can receive aid in any way please contact me at lexsysbecker@gmail.com Now I can’t go to school until I can pay it. Thank you!

I am a 47 year old women. I started my Associate’s in Medical Administration in 2015 and graduated now I am studying for my Bachelor’s and I have two semesters left and I don’t have enough money in student loans and financial aid to finish. I have been through many medical problems and have been out of work off and on and I can’t get loan anywhere? I need help to finish so I can get a better job. What can I do
I am 52 years old and make under 10,000 a year I enrolled in college and was accepted but I am in default on a very old Student Loan I am working to get it out of default but it will take 9 months of consecutive payments. Is there any grants or funding that can help me pay my tuition sooner?
Hello my name is La’Montro McCain and the reason why I need more financial aid grants is because I was once a student at Texas A&M University in the Fall of 2016 as a freshman, but I left because of academic suspension, but God had different plans for me in that my Mom got sick from cancer during the beginning of 2017, so although i had to leave A&M, it was meant to happen because God wanted me to take care of my mom because he knew what would happen, I was still in school though, while taking care of my mom with the help my grandparents and younger brother, unfortunately i lost my in December of 2017 and it had a big affect on my life financially and also dealt with depression at times, but that wasn’t going to stop me from giving up on getting my education, I made a promise to my mom and myself that I would return to Texas A&M University one day and I will in the Fall of 2019, and I’m currently a student at Blinn College which is a local community in Bryan, Texas not far from Texas A&M, once I transfer to Texas from Blinn College to Texas A&M for the fall 19, I will be a Landscape Architecture. I know my Mom is looking over me and proud of me for continuing my education because I’m not just doing for her, my family, and myself, I’m doing it for God because without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at now. I need more financial aid because since my Mom passed away it’s been hurting me financially, I’m considered an orphan because my Mom passed away and also because my Dad’s name is not on birth certificate and he’s an absence in my life and it’s only so much my grandparents can do because they still have their lives to live and their expenses they have to pay, and I don’t want to keep having to depend on them for help and they only can help when they can, I’m currently not working at the moment and looking for a job and I’ve been doing great in all of my classes this semester to the point that my GPA will be a B average when it’s done, so I’m working hard to reach my goals in life, but a grant would be a big help for me financially to help me pay for the remaining classes I need to take at Blinn College in the Summer of 2019 before I transfer to Texas A&M University because I want that Aggie ring and degree and to continue to be part of the Aggie network like I was my freshman year at A&M in 2016, God Bless whoever is reading you and thank you.

Hello,
I really need help. I am attending an online college that has informed me that I am out of funds and have a balance of $3,000 or I will be blocked and not allowed to complete this semester. This is my last semester – I am supposed to graduate with a Bachelors Degree of Early Childhood Education in January, 2020.

Hello, My name is Eniyah, I am 16 years old and want to become the first youngest Nail Tech in my area to have a Nail business. I want to get licensed and launch my career in my passion. I know I have to graduate from school but I want to start now on my apprentice programs since I can be 16 in my state to start. I have lots of clients to come to me now and they know I’m too young to be licensed but they know that I’m just practicing for fun and giving back to the community. I have adults that come to me and even give a donation. I have plenty followers on social media. I taught myself everything I know. I completed 2 years of cosmetology in my High School
But they don’t cover much about nails. I was first to be nominated and competed in the SKILLS USA Program for the nail competition for my school in 2018 in Georgia. I will like to start early on my path until I graduate in 2 years I will like to get help with my education due to the fact that my mom has a disability and my DAD has not been around since I was in the second grade… I have plenty of followers who love my work. My mom always says love what you do.

Thank you!
I am a first generation low income student, I started attending university in September unfortunately my dad got laid off from his good paying job which he had barely acquired two months before getting laid off and all the savings for my tuition went into their late bills because we were going to get kicked out of our apartment if we didn’t pay our rent. I am currently 2 months late on paying my tuition and I am in another state. I been to the financial aid office and the only solution they gave me was loans, since financial aid barely covers half of my tuition, unfortunately my parents have bad credit and my job doesn’t pay me well so I can’t get one on my own. Since I am an out of state student I am living in campus housing but I will be getting kicked out next Friday on my birthday because I am unable to pay on time. I tried begging housing to give me a few more days since I don’t have enough money to buy a plane ticket to go home and don’t know anyone that can let me stay at their house until I get paid or until my dad is able to send me money to buy a plane ticket to go home but they want me out by next week. I don’t know what to do at this point, nothing has been going well and I might be homeless in a few days, I’m really scared.
I’m under low income family not bringing much… I self payment balance on the December 19 to pay dont know where money coming from and where I can get help.. I’m been doing school. And I know this going to hold me back
