Single Moms Going to College

Single moms going to college have a difficult time finding the time, money, and stamina to attend college. Unlike the majority of college students whose only responsibility is going to class and getting good grades, parents in college also have to take care of their children at night. Feeding them, giving them their baths and putting them to bed. All before hitting the books. And if the kids get sick, forget about you just might not get any homework done.

So, how do moms attending college keep it all together? If they are lucky they have a good support group, whether it is other students in their same situation and/or their family. It is important to try to get yourself involved in a group of people who have a similar life to your own. There are a lot of advantages to surrounding yourself with other parents in school. For instance, if you babysitter falls through or if you child gets sick and you have to study, maybe another parent will watch your child. In turn you an return the favor someday when they need it, as it always seems like our children get sick at the worst times (not that there ever really is a good time).

Since more and more single moms are going to college in these tough economic times, be sure to take advantage of any and every opportunity that may help you succeed including entering to win a $10,000 scholarship.

Student Loans for College - What to Know

With more and more people returning to school and college life, more businesses are pushing student loans making them sound like a wonderful opportunity. Be careful when choosing to take out these loans, as you can wind up paying back a lot more in the end.

Be sure that you know all the facts on these so called easy loans. If you do have to borrow money to go to school, try getting one from the government first as these usually have a lower interest rate plus the interest does not build up while you are still in school.

Your best bet for paying for your education is to seek out a college grant either from the government, non-profit groups, or other entities. This money never has to be paid back...Ever! Sometimes they are based on merit or need and other times they are handed out just if you qualify.

The last thing you want to do is to graduate from college and have student loans hanging over your head for the next decade. Especially when you could have had it all paid for you for nothing using a government grant.
