If you go to any college site and look the FAQ related to financial aid, it will answer your questions.
The package and what/how varies from college to college.

You have to apply for financial aid every year. I had an EFC of 0 which stands for estimated family contribution and I got a federal pell grant of 5350 which is for the entire year. I go to community college and it is barley enough to cover both of my semesters with books. I’m pretty sure if your looking to go to a university you might want to look into scholarships and you can also get low intrest loans that you pay off AFTER you graduate. Good luck with furthering you education…
-also it depends on the school but my school sends a check 2 weeks after the semester starts-
