<p>That is not what I said. By far the most grant money (which seems like what you are most likely to receive given your financial situation) is going to come from the colleges themselves. I didn’t say search for scholarships, I said run the net price calculator at any college you are interest in as one of the first steps. It is highly unlikely you will be able to pay for college with outside scholarships. The big ones are very competitive, and most others are small and for only one year. But one of your first steps as soon as you think a college looks interesting to you would be to run that calculator to see what your likely cost of attendance would be. Do not waste time on colleges where the cost of attendance is beyond what you can afford.</p>
