That's how I was. My divorced parents who maintained two separate households combined for a few hundred dollars over the aid cutoff. I was able to get nothing. I had to get a different job and lots of loans. Gave up, never finished college, I am not a role model.
There are ways.....my situation was different. But there are ways....I had to get a job to claim I was independent from my parents but of course it was minimum wage so I was poor to get financial aid. It was hard because my major was very demanding and I went on to graduate school with loans it is hard and a pain to pay back but I wouldn't change my decision. If you want something look for ways to get it
Try going to a high achieving high school, make top 10% of the grade with 4.0 GPA and not being able to get any scholarships because the other kids did "better" than you.
