I currently have a scholarship that pays for my classes, but not books or lab fees. I also received the pell grant to pay for my books and lab fees. I would like to be able to go to school full time, but i cant because i have to work fulltime to pay rent, car, and insurance. I would like to take out a student loan to help with these expenses so i could just work part time. Will my scholarship/grant effect how much money I will get for a loan? I am not sure where to go for this either.. I need one pretty quick.. don't have much credit.. where do i go?

talk to someone in financial aid at your school. they would know what is allowed.

You need to go to the FAFSA website and fill out a FAFSA. You will need all your tax information and if you are considered a dependent by your parents you will need their tax information also.
Once you fill out the FAFSA they will send the information to your school and your school should tell you the amount of loans you can receive, it will be up to you to chose how much you take of the money offered.
The best way to get a student loan is through an authorized student loan provider, your financial aid officer at your school can help you, but first you have to fill out the FAFSA

Fill out the FAFSA at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
Takes some time so if you need something fast, try a private student loan. Quick turn around although slightly higher interest rates. But if you need the money fast, it's the way to go. Compare them at http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml
I would suggest the company Think Financial. Check them out at http://www.thinkfinancial.com
Good Luck.

you need to apply to fafsa.gov
this will determine your eligibility for students loans, and the actual college you are attending will determine how much of that they can lend you.
there is no predetermined way to know how much you qualify for. however, if you are still a minor under your parents, you will qualify for less money since their income is taken into considertation.
