Actually, you don't have to file as an independent to get grants. I've got a couple thousand in grants just thanks to the fact that my family's fairly poor(although I did lose some of that thanks to the fact that my and his incomes together, from where I worked at school, apparently bumped us up a level. And that's why I'm not working this school year).
You can find a ton of money in aide if you ask the right people. My advice, fill out the FAFSA(it's a pain, but it's required for aide) as soon as possible, look around to see what schools are willing to give you, and if you still can't find enough, hit the financial aid office. They'll be willing to work with you to see what they can do.
