Q: "Hi Joy, My
name is M. I am a 17 year old single mother. My son is 2 years old.
I have a part time job. I am a full time college student at
Louisiana State University at Alexandria. I am very curious on how
to receive any kind of financial assistance for my son and I. I have
friends who say that they receive financial assistance from the government
for being a single mother and being a full time student in college.
If possible could you send me information on how to go about getting this
help from the government. I am in desperate need of help right now
(financially). I would very much appreciate your help. Sincerely,
M. Y."
A: "In reply to M., thank you for contacting us at
SingleMom.com. As far as we know, "Financial Aid" should be
available at your college. If you are a full time or part time student -
taking from 6 to 12 units per semester/quarter and you don't make much
money per year. You're eligible for financial aid such as State grant
(depends on each State), Federal grant, "work study", and loans.
You should ask your 'Financial Aid"
to apply for it. It usually takes 6-9 months to get approve. However, the
counselor should be able to assist you with more information. You can also
apply for some kind of 'low-income' grant for student. Again, it depends
on each State and school as well.
