Me and my wife want to continue with our education. We are both 21 at the moment, with a baby on our way. No, it wasn't a mistake. Due to health reasons, we both decided to have a kid at this very young age (otherwise, we could have never had a baby). We want to return to college in the next two years, but we don't really have the money to do so. I was wondering then, do colleges like parents who want to come to school, or do they mostly condemn them? Do they offer better financial aid or worse? (compared to single, non-parent students)? You know of any organization that focuses on parents going back to school?

You can get federal financial aid information through the education department. You will have to fill out a fafsa, or free financial aid form that you can download or do online from their site. Type fafsa into your browser and you will be directed to it. The free application for federal student aid is the first step towards getting financial aid at most colleges and universities. It is the source of Pell grants which are basically like free money and for student loans. There are also a large number of scholarship opportunities waiting to be oicked up. There is no bias for or against young parents.
