You could try getting a part time job or donating plasma (about $60/week for this through DCI biologicals). You could also apply for scholarships. If you google scholarship search you will find hundreds of websites that let you search for scholarships based on criteria relevant to you, eg: GPA, volunteering, major, or heritage. There are also loans available through the government that have ridiculously low % rates. Another perk with loans aimed at college kids is that you don't have to start paying them back until a certain number of months after you graduate. You could also try eating cheaper food. I've found burritos at a grocery store me that are 4 for $1! :) Ramen is also pretty inexpensive, but most people get tired of eating it after a while. Hope this helps and good luck!
Oh yeah, I just remembered something else! If there are any sort of medical programs at your school, go look at the bulletin boards around where their classes are held. There are always studies being done that pay you 10 - 20 dollars for an hour or two of your time. The studies involve anything from filling out a survey to giving them blood to test for various antibodies.

I think the general answer is look to scholarships and student loans. Scholarships take some work and time, and sometimes you have to be willing to chip away at the cost of college $500 or $1000 at a time. I know of several people who have virtually financed an entire year at college on small grants. The other option is loans. It doesn't pay the bill but defers the pain...and spreads it out a bit. I hope this helps!
