fill out your fafsa. Also, there are some colleges who give scholarships and grants to students who are older. Call and speak with an academic advisor at the college. They may have better options. But the fafsa is a given. Its how the government decides who gets what money.

If you are willing to move Berea college is completely free school. You may want to check it out Berea.edu. It is in Kentucky.
Other than that you can fill out a FAFSA and see if you qualify for government grants. If you make a low income and are an independent you will get money. If you are low income and have dependents you will get more money. But, It all starts at the FAFSA. This is how I was able to afford my undergrad.
Good luck.
