You will qualify for a grant.I am 26 and I am in college right now. I appilied for as many federal grants as I could and got financial aid and I work. I don't have to pay no loans or nothing. I forgot the name of the site that I got the grants but I googled it and you should to.Look for free federal grants they have all kinds of grants. Single parent, minority grants,education ect. go to the site below for financial aid.

I got a job at the university I am attending.  Most places let full time employees go to school there for free. It means that I can only take classes part time, but I was not up for getting myself into more loans like I did when I was an undergrad, and I don't have enough money saved to pay full price.  \n\nYou've already checked into financial aid, I assume.  Grants are another good place to look.  Sometimes you can even get an award or grant from your undergraduate institution.

Don't let the admissions person bully you around. It's all your decision. Tell this person straight up that you are going to wait.\n\nThat said I fully support going back to school! I understand if you're worried about the money though. Make sure you do start classes, sooner or later!

go to your schools financial aid department and ask for assistance

my sister refused to go to school and i helped home tutor her, she got work books through the local college and that way the family didn't have to pay for the fees. She also had access to the college tutors to help. So yes in hindsight your parents could have checked it out as an option.\n\nHowever the only person who could do the work is you and if you didn't go to school and do the work and lying about it, how could they have known until it was to late.\n\n\nThe point is you now have the opportunity to do some think about it and make your own destiny and crave out a future for yourself.

once you are 18 no-one will be able to tell you what to do, so maybe you should just live with your parents until then, after all it will beat paying the bills by yourself, also your mom may be trying to save you from making the same mistakes that she did, thats why she doesn't want you doing the same stuff that she did when she was young.

I would contact social services. You obviously have a place to stay or you would not be on here. Stay in school, they will pay or child care. Social services should have plans for you and your situation. Do not stop talking with your parents. Keep attempting to work things out with them. You may have toget a job after school. email me if you like, i am a life coach and will coach you for free. james101092@yahoo.com

Hmm, most people I know that go to college have a job help paying for it. If you all help together its a possibility. Or seek a personal loan at the bank

The best place to go for information regarding financing your education is your school's financial aid office. They should point you in the right direction regarding financing options. Because your parents "make too much money" as is the case with the majority of college students, you will probably need to take out student loans. If you go through the U.S. Department of Education's Direct Loan program, the interest rates are extremely reasonable and payback schedules are flexible. \n\nBesides loans, you can also attain non-need-based grants, and scholarships through private institutions. Then, there are also work study programs. Although, admittedly, many of my friends did not like this option. \n\nPlease heed the deadlines for applications submissions as they are extremely important. Be open with your financial aid officers and let them know your concerns and they should give you some good advice.\n\nGood luck!

tell her its your life and you'll run it the way you want to.Your education is the most important thing in your life and when people drop out they tend to regret it later on in life.I'm a student myself and if mom ever said drop out I'd love to,but I'd still say no to it because I want a good,proper education.So tell her you don't want to and she should be supporting you and not turning against you.

They just want to be sure they are not going to be supporting you until your 30!  Do you have a job?  Are you still in school?  Collage?  Do you help around the house?  Do you contribute to the household expenses?  If you answered no to any of these then you probably are ungrateful for your parents and all they have done for you over the years and its about time for you to be on your own.

The way I did. Work full time and go to school full time and loans, loans, loans.\nI wasn't able to get any financial aid because my parents owned a business and the business assets were considered theirs except the company was losing tons of money. So I had to do it all on my own.

Fafsa should help. Depending on your dependant/independant status, you wouldn't need your mom's income info.

You should be able to talk to your financial aid rep at school and look for additional funding. I am just finishing school and I was able to do many things like that to help pay for textbooks, etc. The school by law is supposed to return any unused financial aid to you unless you tell them you don't want it returned to you so I have never had trouble getting enough to cover all necessary expenses.

There is hope for you. You may not have to pay any money at all if you try several sites that are free. Also talk to your finicial aid counslor at school. There are grants at the college you will be attending. All you have to do is ask.

Wait until you get a little older and show your parents some responsibility....\n\nYou could also offer to pay for them

If you opened an account in your name for your mother and she paid late, it IS your bad debt.  You are in serious need of some basic knowledge with how credit works and what to do to keep it on track.\n\nIn the meantime, why not apply for scholarships?\n\nThere are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nPeople make the mistake of looking for one big scholarship to pay for everything when they should be targeting smaller scholarships that are more regionalized or specialized to their intended field or reflect something unique about them (son of Italian policeman, daughter of registered nurse, etc). Everybody goes for the big scholarships, the competition for those is much higher and your chances are smaller of getting it. Research and apply for anything and everything you are close to being eligible for no matter how small the scholarship.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local Chamber of Commerce/Rotary/ Lion's Club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!
