Purely from my own personal experience:

I'm going to school now on the FAFSA, which is a grant based on your income--if you go to a state school, you can get a lot of your classes paid for, or close to. I'm going to a two-year, so I actually end up with money coming back to me after everything's paid off. I also take all online classes (I'm going through the HIT program). Online classes are calculated just like regular classes, as far as getting money for school goes, and frankly I've loved them. It's just a matter of finding a school that has a good online program.

Go for a state school though, I can't stress that enough, you'll have more of an opportunity to get government grants.
