Hi guys...My dad was laid off a few years ago and since then, he has been running an ebay business. However, my sister is in college and I just graduated (and I want to get my doctorate) and neither of us can claim aid from the gov't because my parents don't report their income...which is illegal. I've tried to tell them this but they just ignore me. I don't want help from them to go to school *neither does my sister* but we can't get any help from the government b/c we're not 25 (we still have to report our parents income and they don't file taxes or will give us that info).

Is there anything we can do short of turning them in?
 
I'm sorry, that kind of stinks, but you can try for private scholarships, or if you work full time at the college you often get a tuition benefit. I paid for my MA by working at the university (in the library and art gallery) and gettting free tuition as a benefit (I had to work full time and take classes part time, but then eventually I won a fellowship that allowed me to work only part time and finish my degree faster). My sister did the same. Good luck to you.
