I’m going to college in about 2 months and I have financial aid through Fafsa and I got 00, now will that be used on both semesters or only 1 semester? I’m just sort of confused on how much I should save up after the first semester, if i need to pay more after the financial aid is used.
When I file my FAFSA, do the people check how much money I have in the bank account before approving my Federal grants/loans? What about the college financial aid office? Do they check before deciding how much money to give you?
My parents say that I shouldn’t have more than 0 in my bank account at any one point. But I want to open a savings account because I really need to control my splurging.
Does anyone know the answer to this? Thanks!!!
So when I filed my FAFSA my EFC was 0. My mother makes 25,000-30,000 a year and I qualified for the full Pell Grant and the full supplemental grant. I start college at my local community in the fall. I start working in a week at Mcdonalds. Will my federal aid go down? What can I do to avoid that? Any other information you can give me?
I remember someone saying I needed to wait til i got my results back from FAFSA (which i’m finishing up today) Is that correct? Also, HOW do you apply for loans and grants? I’m so lost and my parents don’t know anything about it so I’m in this alone!
I already applied for FAFSA, and got 2 other grants, but I need a co-signer for 00.00 still and I don’t have anyone. Hoping to find another grant or whatever to cover the 8. Anyone know something I can do, I would greatly appreciate it.
Are permanent residents eligible for fafsa or is it only for citizens?
We searched and applied last year (son’s freshman year) and didn’t really come up with anything more than he was given by his high school when he graduated and some from the actual college, due to financial need. The issue I fear this year is that our EFC from the FAFSA is a little higher and there of course would be no scholarship/s from graduating high school.
Im starting a LPN program in August…..I did my fafsa and they said i was not eligable for federal grant because they said my mother made to much last year which I think is crazy because we are basically living pay check to pay check.. anyways does anybody know and websites or companys I can write to so I can get grant money for my LPN program thnx
My financial aid office said that I have incomplete requirements and that Selective Service is missing my registration, which is required in order to receive my financial aid award. I have already went through this with Selective Service, and they sent me a letter stating that I am exempt from registering with them, because I’m a female to male transsexual. I was born a GIRL, but am now male..which is why I did not register and don’t have to. I don’t have that stupid letter anymore (it got accidentally thrown away in moving to my apartment) But..if they sent me a letter, they should have that on file somewhere right? So…can anyone tell me what I need to do to NOT have to keep going through this every year when I file my FAFSA?
I am 24 and returning to school after being out for 6 years. I already applied and have filled out my FAFSA. Is there anything that I can do to heighten my chances of getting financial aid for school and some of the bills I have now?
