Question about financial aid?

If I am approved to receive financial aid, what is the range amount that I could be receiving? Can I get financial aid and the Pell Grant both at the same time?
Also, is financial aid only to pay for higher education, because I have a child, and I am going to be in school full time, and don't have the time to work and take care of my newborn, while in school full time...Does financial aid cover living expenses as well?
(In the U.S.) Thanks
 
Once you've applied through FAFSA, check your student aid report comments and it will tell you what you are eligible for. Also financial aid does not cover living expenses, you will have to pull out a loan for that.
 
The pell grant is part of financial aid. When I received mine it was enough to cover my tuition and books and leave me about 300 to spare. Financial Aid will usually offer you sub loans that you can get that can go up to 4000. It does not pay for living expenses. About childcare...there are alot of resources at your colleges student services that may help you obtain a childcare scholarship so you can go to school while taking care of your baby.
What I would do is go over the award letter sent to you by your school to determine your eligibility if you still have questions contact your schools financial aid office.

Hope this helps.
