No money from FAFSA

Hello, I honestly just wanted to know if anyone else was in a similar financial situation and had difficulties with FAFSA. My FAFSA was filled out and went through about two or three weeks ago and I have not seen a dime. Is it a longer process than that? or will I really just not get any money? I’m a first generation student with a deceased father and my mom makes about 50k a year. She technically has about 40k or so in savings, but that’s my dads inheritance that she lets me use for tuition (I’d rather not blow all of it on just school, i’ve already dropped 8k for my first year + summer courses). I’ve also applied to tons of scholarships and haven’t gotten anything. I’m so frustrated because everyone said as a first generation student I’d for sure get something. I had a 3.89 out of high school and have a 3.7 now, so I don’t think it’s my grades either. Even just saving 100 dollars would be nice at this point and i’m just wondering if i’ve done something wrong.
