I am hoping to go to community college soon, likely next semester. I filed my FAFSA & got an email saying I am eligible for $5350 in pell grant aid. My question is, is there a minimum number of hours/classes required to receive aid? I am a mother of 4, the youngest is 2 & has cerebral palsy, so I don’t have a lot (any!) of spare time,but really want to try. The CC where I applied has night,weekend & online classes, so that will help. Would appreciate any help, I am wanting to work w/ special needs children & their families, hoping to have a degree by the time the baby is in first grade, if at all possible!
