You could look for scholarships.
You could also get loans.
You could consider community colleges, which have much cheaper tuition than other colleges and universities. If you then decide you want to go to a university or another school, you can transfer easily from a community college.
Your best bet, however, would be to first get a job so that you can get a loan. There are a lot of kinds of loans, and you can find one that fits you.
You can talk with someone at a bank about loans, or try and see a college counselor.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

The army is your best bet. You should also try applying for the FASFA. Colleges also offer student loans (which have to be paid back). Try finding scholarships and grants online. Have faith, the Lord will work everthing out.

Join a powerful union. Those unions usually have college education benefits and will pay up to a certain amount., usually a few thousand dollars.
