<prompt> Human: I am getting ready to enter my last semester of college will be graduating in decembernext fall semester. Not sure if this is the right place to post but it is the only one I can think of. In the past FAFSA has, in my opinion, screwed me over. I can not file as independent due to insurance and other reasons which makes my mom at liability for being my payer for college and her income being imputed. According to numbers she makes too much for me to qualify for any grants or scholarships but yet not enough in reality to pay out of pocket. She has already done too much in order to get loans in her name and I do not want her to have to do it again. I am looking for a way or anything that can help me to get the loans in my name or anything different I can do in this years fafsa. Has anyone else had to deal with this situation either from a parent or student perspective? I have tried everything that I think I can. Please help. My mom does not need anymore debt at my expense..  <response>: Visit your financial aid office. Your college likely has an entire staff working around the clock to solve these types of problems.
