School...Help!?

Question

Ok heres the deal.....

I live on my own and pay all my bills on my own without my parents help. I applied for financial aid (in Florida) and family contribution according to my FAFSA will be $9,000!!!!!!!

Since the "rule" is that anyone under 25 cannot file without parents income i had no choice. They made $35k and I only made $20k in 2007

I have a pretty good feeling I will get denied. Is there any way around this in order to exempt my parents from my FAFSA?

Will speaking to the dean help at all?

Without this Financial aid I wont be able to afford school bymysef.

Loans seem so last choice :(

Help!!!!!!

Answer 1

The only way around it is to get married or orphaned...  Talking to the dean won't help, these are federal rules that all schools have to follow.

Taking out loans will be your best bet.
