Federal Financial Aid for Single Moms

Financial assistance provided by the federal government.

This type of financial assistance for education may take the form of grants, and/or work-study programs. Federal agencies that offer financial aid include the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense.

Learn how FAFSA4caster helps students understand the options for paying for college, and estimate the eligibility for federal student aid. To apply for federal financial aid, students need to fill out the online Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students need to apply for financial aid each year in college. Once students know what federal financial aid they qualify for, they will be able to estimate the additional amount needed to cover tuition and additional costs. These additional amounts can be covered with loans, institutional scholarships, or other sources, including doing part time jobs during college.
