Whether you are a student just getting out of high school or a middle aged person who needs a better job, when you do not have the money to get into college or pay for other educational resources, it can be really discouraging. When you have the drive and determination to study hard and learn what is necessary to better your future, nothing can stand in the way of that dream faster than financial difficulties.
Today there are probably more ways to get financial assistance for education than has ever been available before.

Locate the official website for the state you live in and see what aid they might offer in educational opportunities.
