Answer 1

i don't know where abouts you live, in the English speaking

world or Western world , the idea is you go the Employment

office and do it that way, while your there, you may also learn

a few rules the government expects you to follow.

The other is you take up full time or part time study and again

you go to the employment office and fill in forms to do with

study and what assistance you will need.

Answer 2

I think I heard you say that you DON'T have a job.  You don't need a job to get financial aid.

Answer 3

You don't need a job to receive financial aid....wait for school right? Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and fill out a fafsa application, in order to do so you must have your tax return paper...or if your under any one else's taxes as a dependent you must use their tax return papers to fill it out...talk to the financial aid office at your school to assist you. =)

Answer 4

start paying tax

Answer 5

You still have to declare the money on your FAFSA.  The federal gov't is not going to believe a 26 year old lived off of zero funds.

She can include it on worksheet C, money paid on the students behalf (the last question on the worksheet.)

She should expect to have to write a letter explaining where the funds came from if the schools financial aid department is worth their salt.

Answer 6

if you get paid under the table then you cannot prove that you can keep up with your share of the payments.  however and this may be a long shot but if you are an exotic dancer. you get receipts at the end of the night. it's proof of income to most places.
