Answers:
try to see if your school lets you do a deferred payment where you do not have to pay the whole amount right away. that way you have time to get the money. what i did to help me pay for college is tried getting a part time job with VERY flexible hours. it helped a little to pay for books and some tuition. did you try FAFSA? and you can also try this website.

it is a scholarship website with TONS of scholarships available. you can apply to as many as you want! its really great. i hope that helps. good luck =)
You could go to the state school in whatever state you live in. State universities offer discounts to students who have lived in the state for more than a few years. State schools are a good option, especially if you are worried about cash.
You could have a yard sale and look for a job.(I don't mean to sound nasty.)
Part-time jobs should take care of the remaining $10,000.00 each. Most college students work part time to subsidize their education costs, if they are smart. This is much better then getting hung with a large bill later.
You can apply for financial aid. It's free money from the government. If you don't qualify for financial aid, you can apply for student loans from the school you're going to. For both of these programs, the school will check to see if you're a full-time student and whether your grades or satisfactory.
Community College for the first two years would help alot!
For one, if your family has little money, why would you get into an expensive school when there's no ability to get loans or pay for stuff? Scholarships are great if you can get them, but what if you can't?

In-state students pay 33% of what out-of-state students pay... I couldn't go to Clemson when I was accepted because tuition would have been $20,000...
Here are the steps you need to take:

1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don't need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

4) You can also try to get a grant or scholarship, which is free money that you won't have to pay back. Look here:

Good luck!
Well, I would try to find a work study program or apply for a college access loan (you do not have to have a co-signer as long as you have a job). A part-time job will help to buy books and school supplies... I suggest buying books off of Amazon.com a semester ahead of time (instead of the campus bookstore). If you really don't have that much money you should consider staying at home and commuting to school. On campus housing and meal plans are costly and the money could be spent elsewhere.
I found interesting information about your answer, college loans, scholarships, college grants & partime works here.

Good luck!
There are many scholarships given out by government and other organisations every year. You can try for some online government scholarships or grants. Fill up online forms and see if you are selected for the scholarship.
