Are you, or your daughter, a teen mom who is not married? You may think that your, or her, dreams of going to college are just not going to happen. The truth is, having a child could work to her advantage, and allow her to qualify for grants.

An education from a university is not cheap. Supporting a baby is not free either. Your first step is to apply for a federal Pell grant. Get your hands on a Free Application For Federal Student Assistance, also called a FAFSA, and fill it out. You can pick one up at school, call FAFSA and request one, or fill it out online at fafsa.ed.gov. The fastest way to have yours processed it to fill it out online, but by mail will get the job done too.

After filling out your FAFSA, you will find out your Expected Family Contribution, or EFC. This is the dollar amount the government believes your family should be able to pay to attend college. The lower the number the better. As a teen you probably don't make much, and because you have a child you have a dependant (which is good!).

A Pell grant will be put towards tuition, fees, books, and supplies. Anything purchased from the school book store can be covered by this money. Any leftover money will be returned to you in the form of a refund from your school. Girls with an EFC of "0" could qualify for a little over $5,000. Of course it all depends on funding available for this program.

Your school may offer other assistance in the form of work study, housing grants, and daycare reimbursement. I urge teens who have kids to register for online classes. You will still be able to work, care for your little one, but you'll have more flexibility when it comes to class schedules. If you're up in the middle of the night with a sick child you can easily log in and get caught up on homework.

Many unmarried teenagers are attending college. An unplanned pregnancy can feel like the end of your dreams, but with tuition assistance and a supporting family, you can still get your degree.

Our cultural vigour could make us strong again Philadelphia, Here I Come!, as the young emigrant is leaving for the USA, his schoolteacher tells him: “It’s a vast restless place that doesn’t give a curse about the past.” Pictorialism - The Concept
Pictorialism (1885-1914) was a form of art photography, aimed to bring out the beauty of the subject matter. The idea was to 'make' a picture by capturing a scene through camera. Artistic manipulations were then done to add to the aesthetics of the composition. The History
