I assume you are under the age of 24. If you think you have special circumstances to be seen as an "independent student" according to the financial aid system. Give it a shot. If it is a VERY valid reason, the financial aid officer can declare you independent and you can avoid the parent's info. Just a warning. It's very rare that they do this. Too many times and they are flagged by the Federal Financial Aid System.
The other option is to go for aid outside the college or federal system. Most scholarships do not add in your parents info.

It is a very hard thing to get a dependency override. It is also a process that can take a long time and takes a lot of paperwork. If you think that this may be something you qualify for, you need to go see your Financial Aid Advisor as soon as you can. Many schools have a deadline on when your financial aid information has to be completed by before you can start school. This isn't something you should put off any longer.
However, if you don't meet the requirements, your parents income information has to be reported. Their refusal to give you their information is not grounds for a dependency override.
You can search for more information on the federal financial aid website at www.studentaid.ed.gov.

First I would recommend going to www.finaid.org. If you look around you can find a lot of info and can actually apply for financial aid. At this website you will find the criteria for a dependent and independent student. You would want to be an independent student if you don't want your parent's info to be brought into it. If you don't qualify as an independent you can go to the financial aid department at the college you want to attend and ask for a form that will start the steps to prove that you are independent from your parents. It is a lot of work, but if it helps pay for college it's worth it. At some schools the financial aid department can be troublesome, but keep trying.
