My cousin just graduated from college. His mother was a single mom who had four kids, and he was totally on his own when it came to paying for it. He worked full time at Nordstrom's selling shoes, and then later at Bank Of America as a bank teller. After hours, he worked at the student store and also was a dorm supervisor so he had free room and board. Not only did he support himself the entire four years, he also paid off his entire college education before he graduated.
My nephew attends and lives at George Washington University - I am SURE my sister can not afford it at all. Where the money comes from, I haven't a clue, but I am sure my nephew handled working all the logistics out with grants, scholarships etc.
