Is there a website to go to find scholarships for single mothers that’s not spam?
I’ve Googled it, but it’s all ads and spam for online colleges like University of Phoenix. Does anyone know of a good one?

I agree with Kari about the fastweb.com thing because I’ve had an account with them for four years now and have yet to win! Though I came close several times. Yeah, definitely look into FASFA a bit more and also talk to your school and see if there is some kind of payment or loan, or even a way for them to lower the price to your standards a bit there is one website that I used to find scholarships which is called scholarships.com which is kinda like fastweb.com. I don’t want to discourage you from going on both fastweb.com and scholarships.com sites because you can generalize your search to met your needs or situation. They have scholarships for mentally handicapped people, struggling parents, African Americans (like myself), several for the Puerto Ricans and even some that are more specifically geared toward women, so there are plenty of different scholarships. and also, the university of phoenix is a pretty legit place, it’s just flase advertisements and faulty online ads that seem to harass and fool people. Good Luck with everything, I truly wish the best to you!!

Did you already look into the FAFSA? It’s the best thing in situations like this. If you need money before the application can be filed, I’d look into contacting your school to see what they have to give away directly. Otherwise a well known site is: http://www.fastweb.com/
But honestly, getting a scholarship there is you vs. millions of other college students.

Check your ideal college’s financial aid website. They usually list federal and private scholarships/grants. Also check the higher education website for your state. I know for a fact that as a young mom that if you have children and have low income, Pell grants will usually cover tuition for undergraduate. There are some colleges that have scholarships specifically for single parents are mom’s returning to college after staying home with their children. Most of this aid is for undergraduate college.
