apply for scholarships so she only has to pay for a bit of tuition.

Or get a job, get enough money for a year at a community college (which also give scholarships that are rarely applied for), and transfer out after two years.

Tell her exactly what you told us. Sometimes you just have to prove to them that your doing the right thing for you and such and then maybe she will

Sit her down one day. Tell her that you're going to college no matter what she says. Its obviously one of the top priorities in your life and you're not giving up on it. So if she doesn't like it, she's going to have to get used to it because you're going to do it.
