Unsubsidized Stafford Loan?

I've paid for college on my own for the past 3 years. I've come up short for my final year in undergrad and because I'm still considered dependent, I was offered an unsubsidized stafford loan. My parents will not help me in any way, but the job that I have won't cover the money that I need. Do my parents have to have any part of the federal loan? Do they even have to know about it? I've paid for EVERYTHING on my own for the past 4 years and I just don't want them involved if they would help anyways. Any advice?
