Note, however, that private schools with good financial aid tend to require CSS Profile and both parents’ financial information. If your father is not cooperative, or is wealthy but will not pay, those schools may not give sufficient financial aid. A few like Chicago and sometimes Vanderbilt only need the custodial parent information.
If you get your GPA up to 3.5 or higher, then high ACT or SAT scores can bring merit scholarship money (some exists for lower GPAs). See http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com . The 11th grade PSAT can qualify for National Merit scholarships. See http://nmfscholarships.yolasite.com .
