text: You can check and see if you qualify for some type of waiver. Some colleges may have a policy if you come from an economically disadvantage background, and can't afford the application fee, you may qualify for some type of waiver. However, as far as financial aid to pay for college tuition, check on-line for FAFSA or Fastweb, for scholarship and grant research, or even your public library, which may have scholarship and grant books-and instructions on how to apply. One final thing, if you are employed-check to see if your employer offers tuition reimbursement or tuition assistance.
