College is Free in America. Federal Financial Aid alone, will pay the tuition of many very good colleges. The more it costs to attend a college the more in Financial Aid the student will receive.

Back in the 80's; I still had $700 a semester left  over after I paid my tuition. Probably more nowadays, depends on financial income, family size, etc.

Anyone can go to college. You don't have to be in or just out of high school. I was 28 when I started college.

I went to school with people who worked full time and still got straight A's. Better grades than me.

Call the Financial Aid Department of the college or university you want to attend and ask them any questions you have, or ask for an interview there and they will help you with getting the financial aid application completed.

If you get really good marks as an undergraduate, there are a lot of good internships and scholarships. to pay for post graduate work.

Assisting Jews in the Former Soviet Union since 1975
The Adopt A Bubbe Or Zayde Program reaches out to elderly Jews and the handicapped in Ukraine and Belarus. Providing food, medicine, bed linens, clothing, eyeglasses, hearing aids, utility payments, and other items for those unable to exist on their pensions. 

Since the break up of the Soviet Union in 1991 with the resulting hyperinflation, pensions have become almost worthless. 

At the same time, food, clothing, medicine and apartments are no longer subsidized by the government, and the prices for these have risen beyond the reach of most pensioners.
