There is a lot of financial aid and scholarships for single mothers entering college. You could ask people who work at the University or you could look online.

Go to the FAFSA website (google it because I never remember it) and fill out that form for next year. They will also help you find scholarships and grants (free money) because government programs want single mothers to have education for the best possible future for our nations children. If you still need more than the grants then you can get loans which require very little credit to get and you pay them back over time after school is done

That's usually the hardest part of life.
When I was in college, I had a newborn baby and my wife was disabled. I took day classes and worked all night. I got some help from my family and some from my church. Otherwise, I got a lot of student aid. I think I wound up with about twenty five thousand in student loans that I am still paying off ten years later.
But you just have to take it day by day and then one day it will be better. Eat a lot of Ramen noodles.
It sucks being broke all the time, but it gets better. Just hang in there. But stay in school. That's your future.

nicely, whilst they experience a would desire to convey into the international, and look after a baby, and are able to try this, then it rather is not a foul element. It does not inevitably advise denying their baby a father for their finished existence, yet whether it appears that evidently way, it rather is not the worst element a baby can adventure. Many strengthen up purely super, or have father figures that fill lots of the jobs of truthfully fathers. You seem to think of that a woman should not be allowed to make this decision. Too undesirable. At this component, the government does not legislate this; nor would desire to they. Uh, and it rather is not that they "without warning understand they might desire to have a baby to experience objective of their existence" plenty as understand that it rather is now or by no potential for them to have a baby. regardless of each thing, that clock is genuine: there's a cut-off date (although whilst this is, precisely, is unknowable).

Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and fill out an application for federal student aid. With two children and one income, you are sure to get a zero expected family contribution (EFC--which means how much you should be paying). You should get full grants and scholarships. Good luck! I came from a single-mom-family, and you are doing a great thing for you and your children!

Apply for a fasa, a federal grant which you do not have to pay back. Call your local board of education, they will be able to help you out with everything. Good Luck, I'm a mom who is in school, it's defiantly doable.
