If its a private christian school the options for scholarship are going to be coming from that school and most likely will be merit. So SAT scores and GPA. Also good connections help. Each school is going to have its own set of scholarships, and they keep them pretty visible for the public.
Financial aid doesn't have to be based on your families income you just have to be taken off as a dependent.
To be honest it sounds like some soul searching is in order here. Figure what it is you really want and throw yourself 100% behind pushing forward. You can always change direction its building the momentum thats hard.
I really cant think of what a specific christian college could offer that could not achieved elsewhere. Your goal and energy seem to be focused on getting into a specific school. School is a stepping stone, its something you go to on the way to something else. Figure out what it is you want from college and go for the goal don't narrow your options by fixating on the means or tools. if the goal cannot be separated from this particular school then maybe its the school you want and not the purpose of it. Probably not a good reason for going.
Nothing worth it comes easy. Buying a good deck of cards wont make you a magician, buying a custom Les Paul wont make you a rock star, and simply "going" to a school wont get you anywhere either. Its the work, and development of the skill.
I understand what you mean, and I do want this college, I also want a degree in business, and I know I will have to work for it. As far as fiancial aid I am an independent but when filing FASA unless you are one the requirements to be one then they dont see you as one.
If you're living on your own, filing your own tax return and can't be claimed on anyone else's tax return, you're independent, period.
I think what DD was trying to get across is: what specifically does this college have in terms of your major that can't be obtained elsewhere?
Business is a common major, available at many different colleges, and some are better than others. Plus the preliminary work can easily be accomplished at many two-year colleges. If what you want can be found elsewhere, you need to expand your options.
Is it that you need the religious community? There are many religious, Christian colleges to choose from.
It's sounding more like there's something specific about this school you're aiming at. Could it be that you know someone who's either attending there or working there and want to be with that person?
I am an independent, finacial aid does not see that. and a friend of mine is going there, plus I have been wanting to do more with my magic, and its springfeild, MO close to branson, st. louis, Kansas city. A lot of places I can start making connections and performing on weekends/summer.
