If i am going into senior year, should i fill out a fafsa? and do i do it or my parents?

Answer 1

If you are going into your senior year of high school and are concerned about financial aid for you freshman year of college, starting Fall of 2009 then you should start filling out your FAFSA around January-February of 2009.  You will need your parent's W2's and any W-2's that you have if you have a job from 2008.  They will base how much money to give you off of income that you and your parents had in 08 and also any balances you and your parents have in any bank accounts.  You can find a list of paperwork and information that you will need on the FAFSA website and once you have gathered all of that info you can sit down with your parents and fill out the online application.

Answer 2

Maybe now or halfway through your senior year. You can fill it out, but you will need some information from your parents. Like wages and stuff. Good luck.
