apply for financial aid. That's what the funding is for. Grants, pellgrants, and tuition assistance are all available. Talk with a councelor (high school or college) to get more information.

Most people can't afford it in all honesty. You can either stop when the money runs out, try to get scholarships or you can so student loans and hope you get some free money too.
Right now my husband and I, both law school grads, have a combined debt over of $70,000. You have to start paying it back 6 months after you graduate with your final degree, and it's actually not too much a month for us about $400.
My advice is to do the loans and suck it up. Education is so worth it, and with a better job it's not too bad paying them off. Put it into perspective, what is a Masters at Cornell compared to a couple hundred a month. Good luck!

Do you receive financial aid from the state and federal governments? If so, it should adjust to the new tuition amount on the bachelor's degree level. Unfortunately, there are a limited amount of scholarships available at the graduate school level, and it is pretty competitive to receive one. However, here is a list of resources to locate scholarships, but one warning is that it takes time for these sources to hear back if you were selected for it.
First, go to the financial aid website and office because they often list private scholarships offered from companies and organizations.
Second, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your college major, race, ethnicity, and religion.
Third, go to the local library and look at the scholarship handbook. It often lists scholarships that can't be located on the web.
Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on the information you provide.
Good luck!

Apply for loans, just make sure the field you're going into will allow you to be able to pay them back.

Play the lotto or work a lot and try to do your papers at the same time...or maybe sell some stuff online if you have a lot lying around you don't use anymore.
