There is a Pell Grant for single parents who support their children by more than 50%. You will need to fill out a FAFSA and choose what school you want to go to. The Pell Grant will cover most of your tuition and your books, if not all of it. You need to go to FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid (http://www.FAFSA.ed.gov) and fill out the FAFSA. Then go talk to the financial aid advisor at the school you want to attend and they will let you know what you qualify for. I don't think that it will cover the payment for your bills. It doesn't for me anyway. I work two jobs and go to school full-time as well to make sure I can support my daughter. You probably will qualify for loans though and that can help pay your bills. Oh and one more thing, make sure you have your tax information from last year when you are filling out your FAFSA because it will ask for this information. Good luck.
