Does anyone know a foundation willing to help a low-income student pay for college?


Question:
My daughter is accepted at Mercyhurst College in Erie this fall to study Forensic Anthropology. Her father is permanently disabled.

Answer:
For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

apply for finance aids...
Talk to the counselor at her school or at the college. Grants should be easily available. They will be able to help you with the process. Or do a search on Federal Financal Aid.
