How do I finance college with a family to support?

I know there are options to help single moms, single dads, singles, military personel etc, but how do I finance college when I have a reasonable income but the expenses of a family to pay for (daycare, mortgage, health, transportation, education etc)

When I have tried in the past to get loans or scolarships it seems my income is the only thing that is taken into account which is modest at best. There simply isn't much left over at the end of the month and that's not including if I'll make less because I'm in college.

There has to be a way that I'm just ignorant of and I would welcome any thoughts.

Blessings,

Some colleges and universities offer courses through the mail. I did this myself through the University of New York College at Brockport. It was a first semester calculus course. I found it advantageous because I could fit my study time around my work time, There were several lessons with problems to do when I completed each lesson I sent it in and got it back with my grade for the lesson. Written questions were also answered with regard to the lesson material. Correspondence college courses are and excellent substitute for on campus classes, in the subjects of English, Composition, Literature, History, Business, Accounting, Math, Psychology, and Sociology. Some colleges and universities also have course in Education that can be taken by correspondence. Some courses such as Art, Music and Sciences, are better taken on campus.. There is a national center for information about correspondence course at colleges and universities. As I recall it is located at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. I hope you find this information helpful, the point here is that correspondence course allow you to learn and study at you own pace and at time that are convenient, which helps minimize distractions. (Some colleges an universities now offer courses on-line, this also may interest you.) I prefer a book !!!

have your parents pay for it.. thats what i did.. and i decided to go to college before a family, that might have helped.. But besides scholarships, loans and financial aid there isnt much.. just take part time schooling, 6-10 credits at a time.. or go to a community college.. very inexpensive compared to many universities... check federal governemt student loans as well.. i hear good things.
