VA Bill combined with work reimbursement and whatever scholarships I could scourge up. Went the a Community College that Charged $33 a credit hour at the time. I MADE money going to school. I didn't even want to major in anything, it was a part time job.

was a full time fire fighter during summer (wildfire season) then part time search and rescue during the year. this last 3 year until i got hurt. that supplemented my scholarships until i lost this halfway through junior year. then worked and took out 3 semesters of loans to finish off.
thats about it.

The first time around subsidized student loans, work (only for rent and food not tuition), and state scholarships (lottery state).
Second time around GI bill.
Anyways I've put myself through college twice now. It's doable but you have to be willing to go into debt or serve your country.
Scholarships, some unsubsidized Stafford loans (6.8% rate), and living with family. Working part-time 20-30 hours a week year-round was sufficient to tuition and the few loans I took out by the time I graduated. But this was a local college that was less than $4k for tuition per semester.

Currently using debt to pay for it. I walked in with a 1.7 GPA from high school. Starting sophomore year with a 4.0 and accolades from the college, so scholarships might be a thing, other than the fact that being FUCKING A WHITE MALE disquals me for a bunch of them.
I'm about to just declare myself a trans-dominican lesbian grandma, just for the privilege points.

My folks saved a college fund, not much, enough for 2 years, my brother went into trades, I worked fast food, lived at home and stretched the fund to an MBA...... which I got in 2008..... fffffff.
My dad said "This money is yours for college, if you dont use it all it is still yours, but it is all you are getting. If you dont go to school I am using it to buy a new truck"
