Edit:  I really like the idea of public service as payment of education.  I just think we need to rethink the notion that the military is the only route.

The way I did it,

I got sick of the job I was working so when I got home from work, I hopped on the Internet and filled out the FAFSA form online. After about 3 months, I recieved a letter in the mail telling me what I needed to do next and it listed the grants, loans and scholarships I qualified for.

I never expected it to be so easy and thought it rather strange. I just filled out that form and BAM! I was in school.
