I'm so proud of you!
Go talk to the people at the college. You can get financial aid and only go part-time; find enough money and go full-time. (check with them on the # of hours required.) You can also check out huge books at the library that list scholarships you can apply for. You can find all kinds of stuff online, too. But don't pay anyone to find money for you--that's a big rip-off. Your high school counselor will have info on how to get started and about local scholarships you could apply for.
There are ways to declare yourself independent from your parents and get help based on your income and not theirs. Talk to the school and explain the situation. They can help you with jobs, housing, finding a roommate if you need one, etc.
You have plans to move out? To an apt. or what? Will you be alone or are you moving into a friend's place with their parents?
