They don't. They get it from:

Mom and Dad,
GrandMa and GrandPa,
loans and loans and loans,
Working at the local mall for $8 per hour,
selling body parts,
designing web pages,
e-mail scams,
actin as photography models.

Serious.
That is what I've seen over 4 years.

unless they are part of some ethnic group that the college is looking
to attract.

Hispanic heritage results in $2k per semester financial aid at a local
community college.

Bulgarian nationals were getting a free ride
at a 4 year NJ state school. They wanted the campus population to have
an international "feel"

A history of exceptional high grades is usually worth some financial
aid dollars.

You apply for it using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA)and any other forms required by your colleges.

While lower income people may have more eligibility, even higher income
people may have eligibility depending on all the answers to the FAFSA
questions and the cost of the college.

Whether you get what you think is "enough" remains to be seen, but
everyone should apply.
