There is an astounding array of scholarships out there, but much depends on the degree you're searching for. Poke around and investigate the programs that most interest you, especially if you're going for an advanced degree (now or later). There are many merit-based scholarships (some amounting to free rides) you might qualify for, and if not, you can make up the difference with other forms of aid. I think the general clearinghouse for scholarship info is FastWeb, linked below.

If you desperately want a degree in your field of choice, you need to get used to the idea of paying for it yourself. Sorry, but that's the harsh reality of higher ed in America today. You may be able to minimize the loans by being diligent in searching for scholarships, but plan on a low return on those attempts. (by all means, apply for every form of aid you are qualified for, but be prepared for alternative funding!) Educate yourself on scholarship/grant programs for your state and institution of choice. Check out the websites of associations related to your future profession. Also, check out the many school choices you have, and consider ROI(return on investment) in your choosing.
Some careers do not need a Cadillac education- a Honda may suffice!

Where do you live? I know in Canada, the government will sometimes pay for up to 80% if you are eligible. (ie. Out of High School for more than 2 years, etc)

Get a job. Though a recent survey in the U.K claims there is a connection between working and getting a lower class degree.
