The other option is applying for scholarships out there. Unfortunately, grants are based on the parents income and family resources. This can result in not enough financial aid. There are a three of sources to locate them. However, it takes time to hear back on them and a little work, but remember, if he is selected, it means less money in student loans to pay back.
First, check with the high school guidance office if he is still attending high school. They have a list of local scholarships available to its students.
Second, check with the technical college's financial aid office. They have a list of private scholarships available to its students from companies and organizations to apply for consideration.
Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information put into the forms.
Good luck!

The best way is through the college itself. Ask about scholarships, not just grants. Most colleges will print a list of available money and the qualifications to get it. Sometimes specific departments have scholarships as well - you have to speak with the dean of the department.
Outside scholarships are a long shot. There are several websites you can get added to that have quite a complete list of national scholarships. You can find scholarships particular to his major, his ethnic background, and so on.
Also look to your hometown. Sometimes there is money from the local Lion's Club, Rotary Club and other areas.
If he qualifies for a pell, then you should be able to find needs-based money.
Here's another idea for you - after a couple of years of college, your BF may be able to find a full time job at a company that will help him complete his education and pay for it. It's slower, but cheaper!

The best way is to go to your guidance counselor. They should have books and software that will help. You may also have a local employment agency or work training agency that has access to the information. Lastly, there are books and internet services available. Try Peterson's or College Board. Good Luck!

He probably need to get a student loan as well. He can start repayments 6 months after he graduates. By this time, hopefully he finds a career related job that can help pay back the loan.
