The resource sites are great and can get anyone started. Here is a general idea of what someone might want to consider as a plan of action.
Think about where you want to attend college
Choose the school you want to attend in that area (CollegeBoard site)
Apply
After getting accepted fill out the financial aid (College for Free!)
Make sure you meet all the deadlines for when you want to start
This is the general way for getting started.
*Note*- No one expects to drop-out of school, but if for some reason, you have to drop out, make sure to file for a hardship. When you decide to return to school you are still able to get financial aid. Many students just drop when facing hardship and do not let the school know about anything. When it comes time to return to school the students will not get financial aid. Please keep this in mind just in case.
