Does Financial Aid vary by university?

Hi,

I used to attend a local community college, with Financial Aid helping pay for my classes and supplies. I remember receiving well over $5000 from the financial aid provided there, which was more than enough to pay for all of my classes and books that year, and then some.
I do not attend that college anymore though, and now plan to take online courses with an actual university for a bachelors degree.

My question is;
Upon registering for financial aid at different colleges, do you receive different amounts based upon tuition rates?

I figured that since I received enough aid at the community college to pay for everything, it would work the same at the new college since the cost is higher.
Of course I'm not expecting it all to be paid, just enough to knock the price down so that each term is affordable for me and my parent.


Also, I did owe money to the previous college's financial aid for having to drop out, but I payed it back in full.
This won't have any effect on how much I'm given through applying financial aid, will it?
I dropped out due to bill issues and the need to start working full time.
