Default need advice from college students

Last year I made like $4000. I put that in my financial aid app along with my parents' salaries and we are paying $x per quarter combined. This $x is significantly lower than the $40K a year that i'd be paying otherwise

Here lies the problem. In my taxes this year, I am going to have to report my poker winnings. I don't know exactly what it's going to be but I expect it to be enough to be noticable.

I'm really worried about my tuition going up a ton. Like if my tuition jumps from $x to 4*$x per quarter, I am not going to be able to pay for it. My poker bankroll is just that-my poker bankroll. If i have to withdraw, say 10K every 3 months, I'm pretty much going to have to quit poker.

This isn't a bitch post at all. I'm genuinely concerned that I'm not gonna be able to afford college next year. Anyone know how much my poker assets will affect my FAFSA amounts? How much will my tuition change? Anything else I can do?
