Does anybody know how President Obama paid for college?

I really want to know if he paid out of pocket on his own or had his family help

Or won an academic scholarship

I also want to know if he used financial aid (grants/loans)

Cause I figure that if president Obama was able to pay for school, esp "out of pocket" that that means that I can do that too, even if it takes me forever

Update:

Well, "going to college" is not a presidential requirement. Niether is it to be the owner of Microsoft, it is well known that Bill Gates dropped out of college

    I believe all those records are sealed. Obama himself should know, but I don't believe he has made this information public.

    His education was paid for through scholarships, grants and loans. He only finished paying off the loans about 5 - 6 years ago.

    I suspect a good deal was funded through the aid to foreign students, and maybe his other expense was paid with mid east oil money!

    You will never find out. All of his records are sealed. He is hiding something.

    He didn't go to college. He got elected president after high school.
