You can't attend college, anyway, at this point. Your communications "skills" are nonexistent. There was never a "scholarship."

I'd tell the financial aid office (1) that you haven't lived at home or received any support from your parents during the entire year, (2) that your parents incorrectly claimed you on their tax return and that you correctly claimed yourself since you were entirely self-supporting in 2009, and (3) that you dispute the decision to remove your scholarship and ask that it be reinstated.

I'd then offer to provide any evidence to support your position, including an affidavit if necessary, or even a finding by the IRS. With regard to the latter, you may want to contact the IRS and explain that you want to dispute being claimed by your parents.

Based on the (lack of) communication skills presented by this OP, it is very unlikely that they ever met the eligibility requirements for the NJ Stars Scholarship.

Furthermore, the OP's dependent status would have no direct effect on the scholarship. OP would have to fill out the FAFSA. The scholarship would cover anything NOT covered by financial aid.

Is this on our top 10 list of longest sentences ever? Oh, wait, even the beginning of it didn't start with a capital nor did it ever in reality end. :rolleyes:

Y'all totally botched this one. He asked if he can sue his parent. He ABSOLUTELY can sue! Right, SP?

....but would he win? Not so much.
