<p>Korey, the other option you have is to work full time and attend college part time. This can be done at some state universities and at all community colleges. Do this and take as many courses as you can to fulfil general education requirements, or to get an associate’s degree. If you’re working full time while taking classes, it might take a while for you to complete the community college courses…and you could be 24 by the time you are done, and would then be considered an independent student. I know that is NOT your first choice…so…do you have a trusted family friend, relative, or clergyman who could appeal to your dad for that financial information? Perhaps he doesn’t truly understand where the information is going, who will use it, and why…and mostly how this might benefit you. Another question…and I don’t mean to pry…but if your dad’s income information has a very high income, he may not wish to file the finaid forms because he feels you would not qualify for aid (and perhaps you would not…). Try to find someone your dad trusts to help you navigate this process.</p>
