Answer 1

You will qualify for a federal Stafford Loan and PLUS (parent) loans if your folks want to take them out.

Answer 2

You will not get any grants. You should look into scholarships. Check with your financial aid office to find out where you can apply for scholarships. Also, talk to them about some sort of tuition payment plan, that way you will only have to pay tuition in chunks rather than all at once.

Answer 3

The tuition at a CC is fairly low, so you probably will not get any financial aid as your parents (so they say) can put $13,787 toward your education for the year.  Your total cost of attending school, unless you live away from your parents, is going to be less than that.
