If i am Elizabeth i will try my best to study with my own money work hard and try not flling bitter towards my family especially with my dad ..and i will proof that i will be more successful compare to my stepsis

This is a tough choice to make because she's still under the umbrella of her parents. Since she has started already, I think she should find a part - job and also apply for crowd funding, scholarship or student loan because this is her future and her parents want to emotionally blackmail her.

Both girls should find cheaper schools close to home. That cuts expenses and lets both attend.

Look. I've sceen former classmates having to deal with this. Its called. favoritism. If you've already been accepted into this school. The next step is to sign up for student loans and grants. You might have to work though while going through college....there is nothing wrong with that. Like I said I've had several classmates in the past who's step parent favored one kid. And that kid normally fell flat. Now that you know. Quite asking them for help. Get into school. Get your classes paid for then go find a job.

Postpone studies and get a written agreement from your sister that she will pay for YOUR studies after she graduates, since she's going to make so much money, or go now and get her to co-sign your loans and help you pay them after you graduate. The only caveat: lawyers, except at the top of their field, are not that well paid anymore.

She should consider sticking with her dream school and talk with a counselor or advisor to find a way to make it happen.

They're basically telling her she's not smart enough, and I know living under their roof restricts her, but she needs to get out.

If you can manage this year on scholarships, grants, and lians, go for it. If not, ask the school if you can defer enrollment for a year without losing the acceptance. Get a job, save every penny. See if into scholarships
would also allow you to defer enrollment. Then move out, and don't look back. Those people you live with are awful.

Go to a community College for two years to get your general education requirements done, while working and saving. There's no point in taking loans and paying more for the first two years. If you have to take out loans for the last two years, take as little as possible. On a teachers salary, she will suffer greatly trying to survive on her own AND be saddled with debt. Think ahead. The struggle of paying off loans is real

Talk to the school's financial aid office. Start applying for every scholarship and grant possible and look into work study.

The first thing you need to do is schedule a visit with your chosen college financial advisor. They can tell you about any grants or work study programs. They can help fill out applications. Your guidance counselor in high school should be able to help you with connections

At all times look after number 1 YOU

I agree with Sue Ellen, talk to the financial aid office. Google scholarships and grants and apply to all. Check into work study also. Good luck to you. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Your father clearly shows who he favors. Get out of that house if you can

Some schools have their financial support systems. Contact them and reduce ur relationship with ur family to the minimum
