Answer 2

If university is something you want, then apply, and also apply for financial aid. If your family is poor, you should get significant financial support from the university and from the government, to be used for your studies. It is certainly worth applying, and seeing what they offer re: aid. Because you don't know how much they'll give you unless you apply.

I was like you. I knew my family couldn't afford university. I applied anyway, and I applied for financial aid, and I got to go to university. I strongly suggest that you at least apply, and see what they offer. Once you know what they offer in terms of financial aid, you can decide your next steps.

If they don't give you enough financial aid to allow you to attend university, you can join ROTC, and apply for the ROTC scholarship. Of course, you'll need to serve in the military when you graduate, but you'll go in as an officer. If you get the scholarship, the military will pay for your studies, and also for books. But apply for the scholarship early, as they tend to run out. So if this interests you, start looking into the different branches of the military, and the different ROTC programs out there, and start getting all that going.

Enlisiting is a great idea, it will give you the opportunity to travel, take classes, have food and shelter, and will give you a GI Bill to use for school when you get out.  You can have such a great life.  You just have to work for it!

Answer 4

Stop saying you CAN'T do anything and make it happen!

It sounds to me like you expect too much from your parents. Why can't you get a job and start saving now?? Maybe by the time you are out of high school you can afford college on your own.

Answer 8

get any job to start out then when you are able to file your own tax return apply for scholarships and grants. If you use your parents income you may not get the money you need file FAFSA on line using tax return information if your parent qualify for food stamps then chances are you can use them and get money for college start out at a Jr. College and get an associates degree. You can always major in music and become a teacher etc... As far as the apartment you can put for on campus living on any paper work for grants. The Pell grant is the one I use and now I also have student loans
