There are not any specific grants that are solely for paying bills while in college. You need to file your fafsa at.
Your school will award you all aid for which you are eligible. If the aid for which you are eligible is more then the cost for your tuition and fees the remainder will be credited to you to use for living expenses.
Student grants and student loans are for school related expenses. As long as you are enrolled in school at least half time each semester, then at least a portion of your living expenses (bills) are a school related expense.
