Single mother asking how can I get support for my daughter's education

I am single mother earning 35000 monthly with ed tech and my daughter is very bright student of 6th standard and I am solely taking care of her since she is 7 months old independently. Her % are more than 90% always and she is also a good basket ball player. I almost had 5+ years gap in my career due to divorce case and taking care of her. In those years too I kept working and almost earned around 10k per month. I started my career working with investment banking and I had to leave that due to all these responsibilities. Now as everyone are aware about how education has became costly my all earnings are going for her education and I am only focusing to Apr and Nov as these are the months when I need to pay her school fees in instalments. Her school don't provide scholarships, I did not found any govt policies who helps for single mother (who is not widow) to help their child education for middle school. Can anyone guide me is there any Institutes or CSR activities or Sponsors who provide support for bright kids for their school fees (even not fully but may be any part possibly). If any exams are needed report card is needed we are open for it to check her criteria for the same. **I have not taken any help from my retired parents yet for this and wish not to further as well, as they have already supported a lot directly indirectly. Her father never took any responsibility and also never ever met her and asked about her. Never expected any sympathy and I am proud and strong 39 years old parent working hard for her better present and future.

[rant] 24 year old anxious about his financial future

I will complete 3 years as a professional soon. Quit a Big4 to join a startup for better pay and faster growth but despite putting in my best work and leading initiatives, going above and beyond all the time, my peers are all earning better than me doing similar jobs. i never had a financially aware upbringing. my father put us through hell due to his bad decision making and despite me being very financially savvy, am unable to save any money because im so anxious I tend to spend what I dont have. i had to take up a lot of freelancing to aid my lifestyle but now im busy all the time and have no time to myself. idk what to do. idk how much savings my parents have since I live away from them and dad never discusses his larger financial plans with me. he also does not have a stable job even at his age even though I know he is v hardworking and does his best. i feel i will never have enough money to support my parents and myself and feel like im running out of time. also doing interviews to leave this shitty company as well which is lowballing tf out of me. im not sitting idle at all, trying to startup on the side as well. i workout, eat and sleep healthy, have a great social life. the only problem is money which im constantly worrying about. i feel its a generational curse passed down to me. I know I have 10x earning capabilities but its all so vague and uncertain. I have an amazing support system and I know I can talk to my friends about this too. just thought of coming here first please share stories if youve ever felt this way. open to advice feedback ideas. how did you get out of it? what can I do? what are some business/sales roles that pay really well that I can get into as an ex-big4 analyst? i dont think my current profile translates well anywhere. f*ck this company honestly. probably the worst decision I made coming here :(
