How much do I earn a year that I can't receive Financial Aid ? I'm 18 years old now.

Question

I'm going to work for a few month but I'm afraid I can't receive FAFSA. Thanks for the answer and sorry for my bad English.

Answer 1

first of all, fafsa is not aid. it is just something to fill out so it tells colleges your financial standing. also, ANYONE can fill the fafsa out and anyone can get aid. even if they dont need it. something to think about though. if you make so much (not exactly sure how muc) you can be deemed an independent instead of being claimed by your parents. if that is the case, you may get more aid. i would see a college financial advisor before you go as a dependent or independent to see what your chances of getting more aid is.
