How did you even arrive at this forum for suggestions like this...?
I don't know if your school has this, but when I was at Texas Tech they had a program that if you had a certain amount of academic scholarship then out of state tuition was waived. Additionally I went to my own college within the university and was able to get that scholarship money because I was such a good student.
Hope that helps. Also you should be able to get federal government loans, work/study, etc.
WORST case scenario, take a year off and live/work in Penn. Establish residency in PA and then go back to college with in state tuition.

Pen State Scholarship Application
http://students.cas.psu.edu/scholarships.htm
This is for Spring 2009... but is probably an ongoing thing
Excerpt: Nearly 300 Penn State alumni and friends, most of them military veterans, have contributed about $51,000 to endow a scholarship that will assist veterans or dependents of veterans at the university who have a demonstrated financial need and have achieved superior academic records.
Graduate or undergraduate students in any degree program at any Penn State location are eligible for the Veterans Special Needs Endowed Scholarship, which will be awarded for the first time in the spring 2009 semester.

try all the scholarship websites, just google them, apply for everything you can, i did and my tuition is paid 100% and i get close to $5000 a semester after that.
sorry if im taking it the wrong way but you sound annoyed with me, so unless your a hispanic female, and play softball and got a 3.5 or higher in high school my scholarships wouldnt help your situation which is why i said google and search some scholarship websites, you fill in your own criteria and figure it out. every individual will have a different list of scholarships. but hey, ill help you out and you can skip the google part:
