I applied for grants/student loans/ and Scholarships. I was approved for 1500 dollars in student loans per year. That isn't near enough to pay for the Aviation Flight degree. Scholarships I applied for were only a few thousand dollars total. That's if I was awarded all of them I applied for.
It's a start...use it, then see where you can go from there. Don't sit back and complain...make it happen! I know it's frustrating, been there done that...still paying back the student loans. I also managed to pay hour by hour to get all my ratings and such, like several others have mentioned.
Just curious...If you already have a BS, why are you going back for an aviation degree anyway? Work on the flight portion.
