The person who said that your financial aid advisor would have "lots" of scholarships to give out is wrong; only about 2% of students are there on scholarship. However, you might be eligible for all sorts of other financial aid, from grants to loans to work-study. If you remember when your child started school, you had to fill out the FAFSA (financial aid) form, and it looked at your income and expenses - well, now your child's college costs are part of your expenses, so your "ability to pay" score just improved when it comes to your own ability to go to school.
Another suggestion - if you are broke because you don't have a job right now, think about going to work for a university or college. Many, if not most, of them offer some sort of tuition remission for employees. I went to law school that way, one of our secretaries is getting a bachelors degree along with her son, both of them free, and a number of other people in our area have bachelors or masters degrees for which they didn't have to pay tuition (only taxes), because they went on tuition remission.

go to your local college and see a financial aid advisor. they have a lot of schlorships for people going back to school. you could also fill out the fafsa online but its easier to got to the advisor and they might know local schlorships too.
Good Luck
Its never to late to get your education
