you need to contact your school's financial aid office and have them help you. there are ways around your parents and the fact that they do not live in the us will help you not have to use their information. get the financial aid officer help you out, that's what they're for.
2 :
If you are a citizen, you are eligible for Federal Student Aid -- your parents don't have to be US citizens. The FAFSA automatically asks every student for parent information (unless you are married, have children, are 24 or older, or are a veteran/ward/orphan) and the Department of Education will not process your application without it. However, the law allows for a school to override this requirement if you can prove that you are truly independent. This is known as a "Dependency Override." Schools have to be cautious about these things and, in general they only approve appeals with appropriate documentation. However, it sounds like you have a good case for an Override (I've approved appeals for this reason). All you need to do is contact your school's Financial Aid Office and explain your situation. They will tell you what you need to submit.

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill. Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc. Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Just so happens Obama father was catholic, his grandfather was a Muslim. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/24/opinion/24kristof.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/sliming_obama.html

For those of you who have never been to indonesia; In Indonesia, a mostly Muslim country, many people pray many times a day. From early morning to late at night you can hear the Mosques loudspeakers across the whole city. If Obama attended a Muslim school you can bet he prayed many times a day. The school would not permit him to do otherwise.
