College aid for someone with lower income?

I am currently not working but will be getting a job soon which will probably pay around minimum wage. I have just graduated college and was unable to attend college this fall because I don't have enough money. My mother only makes around 12,000 a year. I was wondering if anyone knew of grants, scholarships etc. for lower income people. I really want to attend college but my income wont allow it. Also someone of high status said he had heard Yale had to reach a certain "setup" and had to have a certain amount of lower income students so they were taking some graduates with above average grades for free. Is this 100% false or is there some truth to it? Thanks for any help that you may be able to provide. =)

go talk to an advisor at the college. they usually can show you who to talk too for that. or they might even have something already available. talk to them about financial aid.

I think if that Yale thing was true then alot of people would know about it. It sounds too good to be true. IMO
