Government Grants for Widows
Losing a spouse can be devastating in and of itself, and if finances are a concern, the stress can often become overwhelming. Luckily there are governmental grants for women who have lost their spouses to help pay for things such as child care, education and housing. If you qualify for one or all of these grants, it will help moving on with life a little easier.

Education Connection
The Education Connection helps you find the perfect grant to help pay for college. There are many grants and scholarships offered by the government and other private sources for which you can apply. The most popular grant for education offered by the government is the Pell Grant. The Education Connection will not only assist you in finding the right grant, but also help you find where your interests lie. Though the Education Connection helps all people regardless of race, gender or religion find grants, being a widow and/or single mother increases your chances greatly of qualifying for assistance.
