I am assuming that your parents don’t make much money or unwilling to pay. Well, let’s look for example if your parents don’t make much money and cannot pay. If one or both of them have good credit and are willing to co-sign on federal loans, then you should be able to get a good deal of assistance.

If your parents are unwilling to pay and make a lot of money and/or are unwilling to co-sign, then you might have a bit of trouble. The rule in the U.S. for federal loans is that your parents’ income is taken into account until you’re 24. Unless you can prove you’re completely independent (which is difficult) and have good credit, then you’re stuck.

If this is your situation, I try applying for scholarships and if worse comes to worse start at Community College and work and save. At least that way you can go to school cheaply for the time being and after you’re done there probably be able to pay for at least a semester at a 4 year institution.
