I would suggest you start at a community college in your state. Have you considered that option?

OP mentioned this:

@resplendissant

I would go to community college but I am not sure if I would be able to live at home. My relationship with my parent is somewhat unstable and they want me to go to a university that I can live on campus.

Also, if the OP and parent have only been in Maryland for a short time, the OP may be considered an out-of-state student at a Maryland community college, which could worsen affordability.

Additionally, I know most schools that cover everything are private AND require CSS. My other parent refused to give their information for the CSS, so I cannot apply to any schools that require it.

Some schools that use CSS Profile do not require the CSS Noncustodial Profile. However, most of the ones with better financial aid do.
