I live in Louisiana and am looking to go back to college, maybe even online. Does anyone know of any grants or "free" money to help fund it? Or any ideas?

fill out FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov and if they calculate ur and ur husband's income to be a low income they will give u student grants. u can also fill out a form called Board of Government waiver. that form waives all classes or units fees so u wont have to pay for any class ur attending. my advice is, stay away from student loans, they're horrible.

The Pell Grant award is $4,050 max. As the others have said, fill out the FAFSA because that's how they determine who gets one.
Here is a good page on grants: http://www.salliemae.com/before_college/students_plan/free_money/grants/
But there is lots of other free money out there. Don't forget to do a scholarship search!

I'm on a pell grant, you might try looking into that.
I know a lot of married people going back to school who are on it.
You just need to fill out a fasfa to see if you qualify for it.

Pell Grants. And apply for student loans.

Start by filling out a FAFSA. You may be eligible for free federal money.
