I went to school with people who worked full time and still got straight A's. Better grades than I.

Call the Financial Aid Department of the college or university you want to attend and ask them any questions you have, or for an interview there for help getting the financial aid application completed.

I know a person can go to college with just financial aid. I did.
If you get really good marks as an undergraduate, there are a lot of good internships and scholarships. to pay for post graduate work.

Try never to take student loans. It's better to go to a Good school that may not have such a big name, than to go into debt for ten years.

Some students may be able to get help paying off student loans; for certain professions like becoming teachers, doctors, etc. if you are willing to work in under served areas for a number of years.
Americorps Offers Some Financial Help For Students Too.

Student loans are good, if one is sure they can pay them off. Otherwise they're trouble.
 
Some of the smallest schools have the best teachers. Know what you want to learn and choose a school by how compatible they are with your goals.

Mortgage Relief Programs-Overview
The Home Affordable Modification Program or HAMP was created by the federal government in response to the mortgage crisis affecting most of America. HAMP lowers your monthly mortgage payment to 31 percent of your verified monthly gross (pre-tax) income to make your payments more affordable.

About HMPadmin.com
In March 2009, the Obama Administration published detailed program guidelines for the Making

Home Affordable (MHA) Program. Mortgage Servicers were authorized to begin modifications under the plan immediately.

With the assistance of several government agencies, GSEs, and servicers - this effort involved the development and refinement of servicer guidelines, modification documents, and data collection and modeling tools. Key servicer documents and tools required to service HAMP loan modifications are stored and maintained on HMPadmin.com.

This site provides general guidelines and overview documents available to the public as well as secure access to core tools and documents needed to complete the loan modification process. HMPadmin.com continues to evolve just like the Making Home Affordable Program.

As new program updates are announced, the servicer documents and tools required to administer those programs are developed and added to this site to allow for a one-stop experience for mortgage servicers.
