What to do when wealthy parents wont help with school

@Rdtsmith Does the dad have to be a military retiree? It doesn’t sound like the dad is. It sounds like the dad served for about 10 years, got out, and then worked for the FAA
He said his dad has worked for the military and the FAA for 30 years, but he got out of the AF over 20 years ago. So, dad was only in the AF for about 10 years.
