There are three things you can do.
Apply for federal financial aid at fafsa.ed.gov because it will help you tap into both school and federal grants and scholarships that are need based.
Check the school website for scholarships available not tied to the school per say in being awarded by the institution. These tend to be private organizations or employers. Pay attention to the deadlines and the websites for details about the organization. These come in handy when filling out the essay because it influences who receives the scholarships.
An idea it to do a scholarship search online, and there are free scholarship sites all across the web. Pay attention to the deadlines and items mentioned in the second place.
Just remember, it does take time to hear from the organizations.
Good luck!

Begin in a City College. You recieve the same education at a much lower price. Fill out a FAFSA. This will determine if you qualify for grants and loans. Lastly, apply for scholarships.

You should go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and apply there and check for scholarships at the school you are attending. Also if financial aid doesn't give you enough money you can always get a school loan which is subsidized and unsubsidized and also you can get a private student loan and that will sure enough help you out.

Visit your local community college and check out their Office of Financial Aid. Speak with one on their representives and they should be able to steer you in the right direction. There is so many different scholarship out there, there isn't one way to apply for them all. However, since they work in that environment, they should be an excellent resource to you.

Start at a 2-year college (community college). They are cheap and have aid and Pell grants.

FAFSA financial aid should help you out a lot. Theres all sorts of programs to help the financially disadvantaged finance the best decision of your life.

File for FAFSA and see how much the gov't is willing to fund you. If it is enough, go to school. If not, apply for subsidized (very important they are subsidized) loans to go to college.

You can apply for financial aid. I am not sure if there are any adjustments to it due to marital status as I did not use financial aid.
