引自古歌

***I probably don’t qualify for aid because of family finances. Should I a FAFSA anyway?

Yes. Even though you may not think you qualify for aid, you should at least complete the FAFSA. The application is free and many campuses use it to assess your eligibility for some scholarships and non-need-based loans, including the unsubsidized and PLUS loans. Plus, if your family circumstances change suddenly, you will already have the FAFSA information on file with your college.


***Q: I probably don’t qualify for aid. Should I apply for aid anyway?

A: Yes. Many families mistakenly think they don’t qualify for aid and miss out on financial help by failing to apply for it. In addition, there are a few sources of aid such as unsubsidized Stafford and PLUS loans that are available regardless of need. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There is no good excuse not to!

***Myth: My parents' income is too high to qualify for aid.

Truth: There are no income limitations on aid. Although not every student will qualify for need-based grants or scholarships (gift aid), every student is at least eligible for participation in the Federal student loan program (self-help aid). Furthermore, income is only one aspect of the criteria on which financial aid is based. Other factors include: number of family members in college, home mortgage costs, household size, age of older parent, etc. Just remember that while students from needy families may receive more aid than students from more well-off families, every student should apply for aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) even in order to be eligible for non-need based student loans and non-federal aid awarded by states and schools.
