you'll need a fafsa form at studentaid.gov, fill in the details after you enroll in your online community college. looks like you'll be looking at spring 2027 if you start now, the students and teachers can be pleasing and long lasting relationships can be formed, be sure to sign up with a bank and set the thing up so it pays to the bank account, or they'll snail mail you the check, its dispersed by your schools financial aid department.
theres also private loans but they cost more, if you aren't disabled like im not, student loans can be paid back in payments or it can be deducted from your paycheck, so when you start working your financial aid starts being repaid, bonus for those living with parents that need help cosigning
