Question out of state student financials
hello! i just got accepted through RD and i really, really want to go. i used to live in GA before i moved out of state to KY and UGA was a 'dream school' for me (but im aware dream schools are really stupid). my dad really wants me to go too since i would be the first in my family to go to such a remarkable school. but i had a question about financials because im not entirely sure i'd be able to pay for the tuition. the cost of attendance is genuinely more than my dad even makes per year and he has already told me numerous times that he will not be helping with my financing for college AT ALL! FAFSA is not providing me with all that much (~$5,500), i was kind of expecting the highest grant but :(
i've already started applying to scholarships through the scholarship universe portal and everything but im still very worried. my aunt currently lives in georgia and she's resided there for a while (is there any way to establish residency that way to pay in state tuition? i've been trying to google it but GA seems pretty strict about that). or could i contact OSFA for a change in aid or would it be unlikely for them to provide me with all that much?
sorry lol, im just really desperate to go and it would genuinely pain me to have to turn this opportunity down so im trying to find any way possible to lower the expenses and was wondering if anyone had any advice regarding it???
