Any Hints on getting FA?

<p>I will be attending Devry in about a month, and i need to file for financial aid.</p>

<p>It cost nearly $6,000 a semester. </p>

<p>I made $25,000 last year (maybe 19 after taxes). I live with my parents. The only thing they've basically provided me with is a house to live in (but im never home - school and worked like 14 hrs a day just home to sleep ) and my car (which was paid off in my name), and i paided for everything else myself since i was like 16 (clothes, food, insurance, cellphone bill, community college, books, and everything else). It's not like they wouldnt pay for anything, i jsut dont ask them for money. Last year my parents made like $80,000 together. The thing is, last november my mom got laid off and is currently unemployed. My dad is getting laid off in March, and i will be getting laid off at the end of Feb. I have about $7,000 saved up. Is there anyway i will be able to get financial aid? I am tryin to pay off school myself.</p>

<p>My first semester i wont mind so much, cause i do have enough to pay it off. It's my summer and next fall i am worrying about....im trying to not get loans.. of if i have to... as least as possible on loans.</p>

<p>btw i only have to be at Devry for a year and a half and im done!</p>
