I am not certain if the works in the United States, but you could divorce yourself from your parents.
Then their financial standing would no longer affect you, because they would no longer be legally considered your family.
- tokenadult 18y agoIt's called being declared legally emancipated in the United States, but I think it is not easy to do.
- tokenadult 18y agoHere's an MIT statement from the director of financial aid: "For MIT, our definition of an independent student is one where there are no parents to rely upon for information (in cases of deceased parents or abuse or neglect). The bar is set pretty high, so we do not generally allow students to be considered independant." http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/finaid/financial_aid/its_february_2nd_do_you_know_w.shtml http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/finaid/financial_aid/its...
