You cannot go anywhere your family cannot afford. Your grades are not going to garner you great merit aid, but they might get you some need-based aid. Nonetheless, your family will be expected to pay somewhere between several thousand dollars and the full cost of attendance. If they won’t do that, and you don’t have several thousand dollars (at minimum), you’re out of luck. You cannot make them do it, and you can only borrow 5500 the first year, 27K over four. You can run the net price calculator, but without your parents’ financial information you won’t be able to do even that. It might not be fair, but your parents hold all the power here, and you will have to work with them if you’re to go to college.

Fortunately, there are good public and private colleges in VA that offer the u/g education you can use to go to grad school for social work. Some colleges even offer a bachelors in social work, but I don’t know what use it is and I don’t know if it’s available in VA.
