Do you know of any college scholarships or grants for the children of a prisoner?


Question:
I heard somewhere that you can get a college scholarship or grant if one of your parents is incarcerated. If anyone has any information on this subject I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Answer:
well, you can apply for all scholarships and tell them (in your essay they require) how you overcame all of that, and beat the odds.

i'm proud of ya, and your not even my kid. good for you!!

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. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

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; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also 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.
