Getting a late start at college?

Because of life getting in the way and fate interveining at the worst possible moments, I was not able to go to college directly after highschool. I'm 20, and think life is finally calming down enough, but how do I go about it? I'm taking my SAT and ACT, and based on my practice score it should be high enough for at least a partial scholorship to the college near me. What other aid could I look in to? I heard it greatly depletes after leaving highschool but I cant do it on my own. I'm married with a kid, so at least I wont be on my parents money any more though. Also, how do I go about getting my highschool transcript to them?

Alternativley, we may be moving before I can...What colleges have really good writing programs, not journalism?

There's no age limit on getting an education. Good for you!

Have you considered what college you want to attend or your major? If you are moving, will it be out of state? If so, you will likely have to pay out-of-state tuition for college. I definitely suggest you fill out a Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA), you can do it online: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ There's tons of aid available, need based or not, from Pell grant to student loans.

Getting your transcripts is easy. Either the college will have you fill out a transcript request form and mail it to your high school or you just have to contact the high school yourself. Your high school will likely send your transcripts directly to the college after they've been requested.
