Help! I am seeking for information on how to get scholarships for my daughter who is a sophomore in college.?
Question:
Answer:
I suggest you add details about your location, what college(s) and what your daughter's emphasis is. Perhaps some info about your injury.

talk to your daughter's financial aid advisor, they can help as well.
see your daughters school about what she needs to do to gain a scholorship. in australia, the universities have details of scholorships on their websites. could be the same where you are.
The very best resource for scholarships is the counseling office at her school. You have to fill out the Federal Student Loan application and submit it to the school to be considered for scholarships, grants and loans. You can also try an internet search for scholarship sites, but I don't know how reliable those sites would be. Good luck!
www.fastweb.com I am going into my freshman year of college and this site has a ridiculous number of scholarships, with all different kinds of qualifications. I am sure she will find many things here! Also, check locally. Oftentimes local businesses offer scholarships, you just have to ask.
You should have your daughter go to the financial aide office at the university she is attending. She can also go online and look up scholarships that pertain to your specific situation. It's time to let your daughter help herself, with you support.
Go online and enter contests using her grade point average and other portfolio info she has that is reputable. The higher and more she has the better. Also you may want to type out an average essay about her and her career wishes. Whatever the career choice search for that. Also you can go to the library to get lists of organizations/persons giving scholarship money away. It's out there and it takes some work to get, but the more reputable and unique (career choice wise, especially as a woman entering a male type career) your daughter is, the better.
The school in which she wants to attend will have all the information for grants. Ask them to explain all the grants to you, I think youd be suprized what you could get for your daughter and maybe even for yourself because you are disabled.
Get a lawyer for your disability case, it took my husband 2 years to get his too. I know it sucks , but if you need help a lawyer is the place to go. Just make sure that if you talk to one you find out what they will charge you for and dont go to a lawyer who will charge you over 30% you will recieve back pay and they usually wont charge you till you get back pay and all.
