<p>I think you are asking the wrong question. It isn’t about what is fair. Legally he owes you nothing. I don’t think morally there is much footing either, since at core the question is whether or not parents owe their adult children cash for college (no). You are 18, a man, and have a lot of options to support yourself at this point in your life. You’re also incredibly lucky because you have a full ride at the college and will probably be able to make do on your own.</p>
<p>I think the question right now is how you can get through the next 3 years and finish your degree without loosing your scholarship. More summer work? A loan from another relative? More creative part-time work during the school year? (I once had a job working at a coffee shop and the workshift was 5am - 8am before classes started.) Unsubsidized Federal Loans? Private loans? Can you take a 1 year break from the college to work and not loose your scholarship? The college itself may have private loans you can take out to bridge the gap.</p>
