There are more options out there, lots of Colleges and Universities provide opportunities to get into school for free.

Here's an example from the UT Arlington.

By free, I might understand you are also looking for online courses, there seems to be an abundance of these online, here is a great list of what major universities have to offer.

Thanks so much for your great contributions! I too have been looking to try to add even more options. See below:

Better Yet, No Tuition
More programs offer students free schooling

TIP: Look at school websites/calendars as early as possible for
financial aid, scholarships, free tuition, work-study, graduate
fellowships etc. and apply asap if qualified eg. residency in state needed etc.

TIP: Visit large public/university/college library/bookstore or
ask librarian for help/ or university/college financial aid office,
or government education website/resource collection or web search
and find scholarships, grants, internships, fellowships, work experience
at schools and apply asap.

TIP: Find any online student information pages, student discussion forums
at institution website, perhaps find students from that school in school site
blogs/or facebook etc. and search and read about students in those funding programs
to look for relevant benefits/pitfalls/tips/experiences taking all security
precautions for using the Net eg. people are not always who they say they are.

TIP: In my previous Mahalo Answers answer, Best Tips for University or College Success
there are some links for financial aid/government education websites to look for programs.
