I recently moved to California in order to be independent. I have enrolled at the local community college and I am planning on finishing school at my current location. This is my purpose for being here. The problem is that I will be treated as a non-resident for a year and it will cost $163 a credit instead of the resident rate of $20. I became a resident, but you have to live here 1 year to get the resident rate. I have applied for financial aid but I do not know if it will be processed before the semester starts. Besides that, I don't know I will receive any financial aid. Although I am 24, they are still requesting my parents financial information. I have applied for a few scholarships, with no responses yet.
I do not want to take out a huge loan for community college and I do not want to put my goals on hold for 1 year while I wait. What can I do to help pay for my schooling?

How do I pay for college?For the FAFSA, to be considered independent you must be 25, married, or have a child, and etc. You can appeal the decision with the college but that doesn't always work. I would suggest the best thing to do is to wait a year. That way you become a resident and will qualify for financial aid. I know you don't want to put your academic life on hold, but besides loans there might not be a lot you can do. You could work and just attend one or two classes a semester (that way you could afford it) until a year has passed that way you don't fall too far behind.
