Can I get grants or scholarships?

I am making a decent income in Las Vegas and am afraid that will restrain me from getting grants or scholarships. I can't afford school because my bills are costing me too much. Can anyone offer me any ideas on how to get grants or scholarships...where are some places I can look? How can I use FAFSA to get money, even though I am making money? I am independant and am afraid based off of last years tax return that I won't get any grant or scholarship money. I have never filled out the FAFSA form because I have been under the assumption that it would be impossible to receive any money.

Unless you made $40,000, you should be given aid. I'm not an expert on income limits, but I've used FAFSA the past three years and it has helped me greatly. I would suggest filling out a FAFSA form online before the priority deadline.
