Call the guidance office at the college and make an appointment. Tell them your problem. If you really want to go, you'll find a way. Any current money you lay out you don't need to? Bad habits that cost you? Don't take a job that will keep you from putting in the study time. Community colleges are NOT easier. Good luck and God Bless.

There are many options to pay for college - and no matter how you look at it, the more education you have, the more opportunities that will be available to you once you've completed a degree.
If you look for a better job now, you might even be able to get help with something called "tuition assistance." You should also look into http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ to help you get some more money for college.
The US military also offers a good deal with college and big savings.
Good luck to you and your educational endeavors - remember it is an INVESTMENT. :)

There are four sources out there. There is financial aid from the government and aid directly from the college located at FAFSA.ed.gov which is need based. Also, there are private scholarships listed on the community college's financial aid website. Sometimes, companies offer financial help for their employees to further their education which can be discovered at your company's human resource office. Finally, there are free membership scholarship search engines.

well apply for financial aid 1st of all and if you get that then it'll take most if the $$ off for you if not all of it...and be sure that you go to an in-state community college too not an outta stae one bc if you go instate its cheaper....like me ima go to a community college here b4 i transfer to UNC Greensboro and its only $2000 for me to get in there.
