I wonder if there is any trick for old people (30s) to get into college for free for a Bachelor's or a Masters. I am guessing they don't care about SATs at that point.

What are you looking for to pursue? While not free, community college is a great resource to look at to get a lot of the core requirements out of the way, and they try to hold a lot of evening classes for working individuals.

In addition, it wouldn't surprise me if there are some sort of merit and/or other type scholarships for folks wanting to go back to schools. You just have to look.

Why would there be? It tends to be the opposite; if you're coming back to school in your 30s, you're presumed to have some savings, and likely interested in school to increase your earnings.

That said, SF residents can get a Associates from City College for free. Elsewhere I know less about it, but there community colleges are still very cheap in some places.
