What kind of financial aid help will be available to me as a single mother full-time student?

I am interested to know how my financial life is going to change now that I am expecting. I will be a single mother that will continue to persue my education full-time. Are there grants that I am able to receive? Maybe scholarships? Thank you for your help!

1. There might be. Contact Sallie Mae, you can look it up on the web, also talk with your school's financial aid program. They will know what kind of loans or grants might be available to you.
2. You will probably be able to get the full amount of your pell grant depending on how much money you make since you will be considered independent now
3. You absolutely can get a grant or scholarship. Here are some specific sites for single mothers: http://www.singlemom.com/resources/financialaid.htm http://www.singlemotherresources.com/ http://en.allexperts.com/q/Single-Parenting-2071/Educational-Grants-single-mothers.htm http://oedb.org/scholarship/single-mothers http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Find-Student-Loans-and-Scholarships-for-Single-Mothers&id=490658 And here are some general grant and scholarship sites: http://www.fedmoney.org/ http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp http://www.freegovmoney.net/ http://www.educationplanner.com/education_planner/paying_article.asp?sponsor=2859&articleName=Grants_and_Scholarships http://www.studentawards.com/ http://www.college-scholarships.com/ Good luck!
