I am 24 and I work full time. "Financial Aid" I was told that if you are under 25 they will take your income and your parents since IM not married, and have no children? I was wondering if anyone knows anything else that I can do to help me pay for college, besides student loans? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Google "Work-Study" and "Apprenticeship Programs" or go here

Many of these or urls for them have already been listed in Yahoo Answers, I did a good one listed above.
If you are poor or lower middle class economically, student loans are something to stay away from insofar as possible. Be realistic, you will have to make your own way. No one is going to give you a posh job, it will go to someone else with connections, even if they are stupid. Gals can get some good jobs if they are good looking, but be careful -- those who are not end up in some industry they wish they weren't or worse.
Always ask the advice of women in their late 30's, early 40's who have a career you like. Free advice for those humble and wise enough to ask can save one from some terrible pitfalls or pratfalls.
*If you ask this question again, specify your interests and home state for better info from those who may be able to help.
If you do not mention those, we don't know whether to mention the Coast Guard, we might leave out the perfect paid apprenticeship or free schooling program like I am probably doing now.
Many states are begging for nurses so there is big financial aid in that area.
Recommendation: Pick something you like and work your butt off per the above, seeking some advice from time to time. Step by step one goes a long way, even to the Center of All Reality one day in the distant future.

Best bet is to go to a school counselor. They will know the most up-to-date ways to get aid. If you work full-time, you might check-out the University of Phoenix, which is in every major city and is specifically for people who work full-time. You might check with them about their financial aid. They are a great school! Google words like "scholarships", "financial aid", "student loans", etc. Scholarships are everywhere and are given to people just because they are left-handed!

the considerable notice that is "unlawful". i'm taken with enhancing your self, yet we've rules for a reason. Why actually have a regulation or a border if that is not any longer enforced? there is not any different u . s . a . interior the worldwide the place you may enter illegally and get this variety of centers and classic of residing you do in united statesa.. until individuals crack down on the unfastened centers offered to unlawful immigrants, the folk who're here legally and paying taxes are going to be footing the bill for people who % to no longer obey the regulation. Why no longer practice for citizenship and then get financial help?

You can apply for scholarships all over the place. Sometimes your work will help you pay for school. Also, when you fill out the financial aid application (FAFSA) you can fill it out for just you if your parents are not helping you to pay for school. I believe you just have to sign something saying that they are not helping you to pay for school. This makes your income look smaller and enables you to be eligible for more loans, grants, work-study, etc. Good luck!
