@Madison85 – Each state sets its own policy about high school equivalency. In some states people who leave high school can take the GED before they turn 18.
If the OP is female, the possibility of women returning to school scholarships might be a possibility. Scholarships like this one: https://www.pdx.edu/scholarships/nancy-ryles-scholarship
Check the school’s common data set to see if they will accept a GED. Not all do.
Thank you for all the valuable advice everyone!
