I'm going to start JC in the fall in California - my Dad's taxable income is ~60K, putting him in the 50-75K bracket - I have no padding for my resume - volunteer work, boy scouts, honor roll, AP, jobs, etc. - my GPA is about 3.0 - 3.5

Am I screwed ? They want so much information I wonder if it's worth even applying for grants /aid
 
Yes, you can receive financial aid in the form of federal student loans which is the majority of financial aid that students receive. The only way to qualify for these loans is to fill out a fafsa application, so even if you don't think you'll qualify for grants, you should apply for financial aid if you think you'll need federal student loans. You can apply for scholarships for "free" money for school - there are tons out there.
