      Scholarships, student loans and touring Europe and living out out of knapsack. These are not new or secretive techniques. You should try improving your education and visiting different cultures and place, it would improve you.

      His college education was funded by a combination of scholarships and student loans (which he just finished paying off a few years ago).

      He was raised by his grandparents, who also helped him financially.

      Grants, gifts, scholarship, and Government largess (read “your tax dollars”).

      I don’t know. Even traveling on the cheap, it still costs money.
      As far as Harvard, I’m not sure what his financial aid package was like if any. He refused to release his financial aid papers to the media.
