Answer 1

You don't have to be a citizen but you do have to be an eligible non-citizen. You can read how the government defines eligibility here:

Good luck!

Answer 2

to get money from the government, you have to have a social security number..and from what i know, if ur a permanent resident, that means you have a social security number...so if you have social security number, you'll be able to get FAFSA
