Career change to pilot

I am a 40 year old white male with 20 years experience as a truck driver. The transportation industry is the area that I have have always worked in and want to stay in. Since trucking has become less and less of a challenge I would now like to learn to become a commercial pilot. The reason I am researching grants is because through my internet research I have found that good flight schools that I can attend full-time have a cost that range from thirty-five to sixty thousand dollars. I am always seeing websites that claim the government has all this grant money that they're "just waiting" to give away. So I'm hoping I can get my share to pay for my schooling. I then intend to sell my house to pay my living expenses for the next couple of years or however long it takes to get a job as a commercial pilot.

Does anybody know of any US government grants that a man over 40 can get for education? I'm looking to change careers withing the transportation industry but schooling is expensive. I'm a US born, middle-class citizen. This seems to be a factor in receiving a federal grant so I thought I should put it in here.
