1) Scholarships--you'll need high ACT/SAT scores with a high GPA and community involvement. Some may also be need-based.
2) Grants--These are usually need-based. (e.g. Federal Pell Grants)
3) Student Loans--The Stafford loan program has two tiers--subsidized (the government pays the interest while you are in school) and unsubsidized (you pay the interest or let it capitalize in the loan). Subsidized loans are need-based. PLUS loans are available for parents of undergraduate students. Student loans are also available from organizations like Sallie Mae and local banks.
Where to start: fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

Subsidized Stafford loan: (the government pays the interest while you are in school, low untruest rate)
Unsubsidized Stafford loan: low interest, you pay the entrust
Perkins Loan: really good one. super low interest, and some of it gets paid off for you for every year you work in your field
Parent Loan: Your parents take out a loan to pay for your school
Grants and scholarships: Make SURE you fill out the FASFA form to see what you qualify for.
The other option is working while you are going to school and pay your tuition each semester as it is due.
