At this late date, I can't imagine there's much out there to apply for. I remember scouring the blue book, which was a big book full of untapped scholarships given out by clubs like the National Porkettes Association -- a ladies auxilliary to the pork (the other white meat) lobby. It handed out money to women who wanted a degree in Home Ec.
Anyway, any thoughts for this woman? I'm going to suggest that she phone the college. IME, universities will work with people to see that their kid finishes school, especially if he's a senior. Which is to say, as I recall, private universities are a little more flexible than they let on.

First, to say thank you for being attentive to my email. The type of grant I want is for my son's college education.He is going to be a senior this year and his tuition has increased to $42,000 for 2005-2006. I work two jobs and last year sold my car so he can continue.I have another son in HS. My husband (vet) died 6 years ago and with rent, gas(home) and prices rising I'm at my wits end with coming up with the funds. Oh, my son received a scholarship which the rising tuition costs has exhausted all of it. So any ideas I will definitely consider.
