Frustration and needing Help

Todd has figured out what he wants to go to school for. Todd has decided to go to a art school, he talked with a recruiter and its for online or the closest campus is in Phoenix. Todd found out that it would take him 5 years full time to finish, they told him that the tuition for full time would be 18,000 a year and financial aid would only cover 10,000 a year so we would have to come up with the other 8,000. Although if he did it part time they would cover the full tuition but then it would take longer and he is looking for something that won't take too long to finish. He was told that since it was online that they wouldn't cover living expenses. We have talked about going to the campus and finding out what they would tell us. The same guy called Todd this morning and said that the tuition is the same if he went to the campus and for living expenses they would only give 18,000 a year thats how much we are living off of right now and barely making it living in a crapie trailer. We are greatful for a place to live, but we don't want to stay here forever and ever and ever and ever. Right now I just feel like we are digging a deeper hole and not getting anywhere. If any of you know of art schools in the Phoenix/Mesa area and no of what we could apply for financially so that Todd can go back to school please let us know. Todd also said he doesn't qualify for pell grants
