FAFSA is the first step (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Some schools do have special grants for single parents. Each school is different, though, so you will need to do some research. The Admissions rep or the Financial Aid Office at each school can let you know what’s available.
There might also be private scholarships for single parents. Try http://www.fastweb.com to see what you can find.
Good luck!
If you live in the U.S., you need to (MUST) fill out a FAFSA. (link below)
Also, contact the ‘financial aid’ office of the colleges that you are interested in attending.
Colleges that are well run will help you understand what your options are.

You might also check out the SallieMae website (if you live in U.S.).
