Money and the Lack Thereof

[Moonlight]

Before asking my question, I'd like to briefly explain my situation.

I'm a Canadian in my mid-twenties and don't have a high paying job. I'm soon enrolling in a government funded school which provides a 3-year, university level, fine arts education.

After completion, I'd like to further it specifically as a video game artist. Problem is, schools which teach those skills are ridiculously expensive. I honestly can't see myself ever being able to afford them.

What options do I have when it comes to getting an education without going into dept for most of my life? I've literally checked over 1000 scholarships and bursaries and all have restrictions (such as age limits). I also don't know anyone to borrow money from.

I'd also like to point out that I might get my education in the United States since they much better schools IMO.
