.I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation in Venezuela. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any places where you can attend college for free. However, there are some scholarships that Venezuelans can apply for, such as the Fulbright Foreign Student Program or the Merit Scholarship from the United Nations. You may also want to consider applying for a loan from a bank or other financial institution. Additionally, many countries do allow international students to work part-time while studying, so you may be able to find a job while pursuing your degree. Good luck!
