How do I get grants and scholarships to fund my education to be a Science teacher?

I have two years left to finish my degree to be a Science teacher and am a single parent. I am having trouble finding grants and scholarships to fund my schooling. I would think as badly as Science teachers are needed that there would be ample resources. I live in Texas. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Have you tried www.fastweb.com. It is a source for an amazing amount of scholarships.

You can try for government funded grants. It’s worth a shot…
