I am a self-learner. Ever since I took a break from traditional schooling in the USA, I've come to discover that I learn drastically better without fitting into some curriculum or schedule governed by an organization.
My career plans do not depend on credentials, but on shown skill and experience, and self-drive to pursue greater understanding of my areas of interest. This makes one thing clear: I have no reason to spend outrageous amounts of money on a service that will do a worse job than I would on my own, amassing debt that would potentially take my lifetime just to repay.
The way I plan to learn is drastically more affordable, and I would become just as educated, if not even more educated than the large majority of people who would go about learning the same things in the traditional "go to college" approach.
Despite any of this, it seems that any and all efforts to support higher education are ONLY for those who plan to use it for some entity that has been given educational authority. This is mainly due to the tax pseudo-laws that aim to decide how you're "allowed" to spend your money, but there's presumably nothing stopping someone from creating a scholarship program that recognizes self learners as students that also need funding.
I figure there must be something out there for students like me to get financial aid, but I haven't found anything like that myself. As for student discounts, almost all of those expect you to have a student-id from a university, which is obviously something I lack.
Right now I have a student-id for a year-long course in quantum computing, but that was only because IBM fully sponsored enrollment for 5000-7500 applicants, and last I checked, "The Coding School"/"Qubit by Qubit" is not an available organization when trying to verify student discount qualification...
