You can find companies that will take your money to file it but that is a scam. It’s a federal form and is free.

Good luck to her!

Here we have the Hawai’i Community Foundation that serves as a scholarship clearinghouse for local donors.

Our University of HWaii website has a financial aid page with locally available scholarships. I but your area has those too.

Aloha.
