@halfemptypockets Thanks! I look into briefly, and it looks like one of my choice schools does offer tuition remission. But I would need to be their employee first, and have to fall into a eligible category… Which is a great option when/if I have my bachelor’s and work as some kind of staff for the school. I’m definitely tucking this away for later. Thank you! 
@ucbalumnus Your links and explanations greatly helped! I feel a lot more confident now. I will look more into those things you’ve mentioned. Thanks!
Thank you everyone! This was so much more helpful than my school’s financial aid office.
