Will I always get to go to college/university for free?

My father made about that much when I went to college and I paid for it all out of pocket.

No. College is not going to be free for you. 80% of American college students WORK to help pay for school and/or living expenses. If you go on to university, expect to work, even if Work-Study Program is not included in your financial aid package. And you'll likely get some loans, too, and you will bust your buns for years paying those off because you failed to bust your buns working, earning, saving even through middle & high school years. You'll also lack the discipline, track record of successes, and recommendations you'll need to get a job to pay off all those loans!

If you are in community college, you and your parents should have filled out the FAFSA form a long time ago. Are you getting financial aid now? You need to know what you're getting and the exact terms because YOU'RE the one who will be paying back the loans, not your dad. Financial aid packages usually consist of scholarships, grants, loans, and possibly work-study. You need to know how much you're going into debt. 

The FAFSA will have to be completed to determine what your family is expected to pay for college.  There may be an expected contribution of 0, but that doesn't mean your college will be fully free.  You may be offered some grants and you may earn some scholarships, which don't need to be paid back.  But your financial aid package might also include work study (where you work on campus to pay for some of your schooling) and/or loans (which you have to pay back).  The college offers you a package based on your FAFSA results.

If you are a good enough student to go to a top private university, you might get free tuition and possibly more than that. But don't count on it. 

Short answer is no you will not go to college for free.

You will still get government student loans as part of your financial aid package. YOU will need to pay those back.

I doubt you will get a Pell Grant.

Chances are your financial aid won’t cover all your costs to attend. You will need to come up money

I know a family, regrinds and such, kids are friends and such.Both parents work, four kids, they are eligible for and receive housing allowance among other things. Their oldest graduated two years ago, he does not get free schooling, even community college. He works his *** off trying to pay for the community college he goes to. So I do not know of which programs you or your dad are talking about. My daughter is suppose to start college this fall, according to the financial aid crap. They expect the family to come up with 20 thou a year and such.
