Have you ever thought about getting student loans then? My husband has
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and it was NOT income based or he would NOT have gotten it, and he can ask for as much money as he wants per semester but remember you get a limit and have to pay it all back as soon as you stop going to school, but my husband gets school paid for his books paid for and gets extra money back to put away for grad school living expenses which is also able to be covered by the loan... The loan will pay for living expenses, books, schooling....... There just isn't any valid excuses in the land of oppurtunity!!
