My GF\'s parents are scumbags thus far (Fin. Aid)
So I tried briefly researching this on FAFSA, but apparantly they don't consider parents to be scumbags frequently enough to post it anywhere I saw....
My girlfriend currently is finishing up her last semester at a JuCo for an Associates Degree. She wants to go to a university starting next fall but does not have the money to do so as of now. She is willing to get loans....However... Her parents are thus far refusing to give her any of their financial income information to do the applications. They make really good money so she probably won't get FAFSA, but she still needs this info for potential loans. She lives with them, is a dependent of them, and yet they are being total scumbags. What is her play here? I'm guessing that the first thing is to talk to the school's financial aid office for help. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into this pathetic situation.... She really needs to get out from under their thumb because they are pretty much terrible parents....Seriously, who refuses to give their kid a chance at a student loan and what not.... I'm aware this is slightly gapped in explanation so I can answer other stuff...but I'm looking for guidance from you guys.

Is she hot?
If she is, she could find a boyfriend who will pay for it all; unlike a poker playing loser like you!!!

Your girlfriend might want to consider state schools.

She's probably not going to get loans from the school. Even loans are considered on a need basis.
I know someone who actually went to college with me for freshmen year, and then her parents were like "yeah, we're not paying anymore", randomly, kinda for no reason (or so she told me). She worked for a year, and eventually declared herself independant from them. At that point she's her own entity or whatever and her parents dont matter. How old is she? If she's 21, she can probably just get herself to not be a dependant. Financial aid probably knows how to do that. Also, this better be for next fall. You want to apply for financial aid as soon as possible, because they just run out of it in some cases.

Solo,
If she isn't considered a dependent, then there has to be a way for her to get the financial aid she needs regardless of her parents' income. If she's over 18, there has to be a way for her to not be a dependent right? There are plenty of independent 18 years olds out there.
