Hey there,
I am so very sorry that you are having to deal with this. It is so difficult to deal with family who is not supportive and I am sure it is absolutely heart-breaking that they are giving you an ultimatum like this. I am not 100% certain what to advise because it is so complicated. Have you considered looking into any options you might have in order to finance your schooling without them? I know that is probably not something you'd be able to do but it might be worth it to talk to someone at the schools you are hoping to attend.
If you are unable to afford school without them you might have to 'break up' but continue seeing one another without their knowledge. I had a friend or two who had to do this and it was no easy. It definitely made things within the relationship a bit more difficult but it might be your only option.
One thing I want to say is that your parents are blackmailing you in order to get you to do what they want. It's unfortunate that they are choosing to go this route and I hope with time they will change their opinion. However, if they do not change their minds, you can get to a better place without them. You do not deserve this treatment and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you being gay.
I don't know that this helped much but please know I am here if you ever need someone to talk to.
Best regards.
