If I’m not mistaken after the age of 24 your are considered an independent in the eyes of colleges as in they can’t use ur parents/family’s household income for fasfa or financial aid, they have to go off of your income. And if you make not a lot, there are a lot of low income financial aid options (not sure which ones there are for uri specifically tho). Ur in a good position bc of ur age so I would ask around and look into ones specifically for low income
