I am 28, a single mother of 2 and I am looking to finally start attending college this year. I know that I qualify for pell grants and such to pay for tuition but does anyone know if you can recieve student loans on top of that to help with living exspenses while attending classes. I have a job I just cant work full time anymore and attend classes and still be the kind of mother my kids deserve to have. I can still work part time I just need help paying the bills while I'm in school. Please if anyone has any info on this let me know.

Yes, you will also be offered either work-study or Stafford / Perkins loans in addition to your Pell Grant. Any funds offered to you as work-study can be transferred to loans ... or vice-versa.
If you still require additional money above and beyond the amount offered by Financial Assistance, you can take out private school loans through SallieMae (visit their website for more details) to help fill in the gaps.
