Grants, a few small scholarships, and student loans. Plus, I worked at Wal-Mart, which paid for my first two years.
Right now, I am paying for grad school with loans.

I was very, very luck. My parent allowed me to live at home free during summer, provided I did the usual home maintenance tasks like paint and re-shingle the house, etc. No I am not kidding. I worked two full-time crappy jobs in factories all summer and had one-third of a tiny trust fund from my grandfather to squeak through until spring. The trust fund provided me with a whopping $370 a year. That, and Ramen Noodle helped me through my glorious five years of university life until I earned my degree.
Afterwards I started at the very bottom of a firm and now, after fifteen years of slaving away, I have almost made it to the same level my friend has. He didn't go to a university but decided to spend five years slaving away from the bottom up at the same firm where I am. He is a VP.
Ah, the benefits of a university education.

There's many ways to pay for college. I've used a combination of the following throughout college and grad school.
1.) Apply to as many scholarships as possible
2.) Financial aid.
3.) Grants.
4.) Work part time (you can also find a work-study position through financial aid).

Applied for student loans and have been deferring them for over 10 years. The stripper option was never an option, but in retrospect, I might have been better off financially had I considered it.

I worked in a topless bar in Windsor Canada while going to school at home in Detroit.

Pretty crappy huh?

I borrowed from the Federal Government, did summer internships for major corporations, and gave guitar lessons.
