OK, whats the cut off to receive grants and finacial aid from FAFSA?

Question

Because, i don't qualify for anything anymore, but my parents don't make that much

Answer 1

There is not a cut-off or set income level to receive financial aid.  The calculations are done based on all the figures you enter into the FAFSA.  But these affect your score the most: number of students/siblings in college, income, number of members in household, and parents' ages.  

The FAFSA will determine how much money you can receive in student loans and which kinds of loans you will receive.  When you say that you "don't qualify for anything anymore" I'm guessing you mean grants, or free aid.  Because, in fact, you are eligible for some amount/type of student loans.  Loans may sound like kind of a drag, but can make the difference between you going to college and not.  It's how I got through. (*depending on your age, you parents may need to apply for a parent loan first.  I said APPLY, not accept.  They will still have the choice.  It will only cost them a credit score ding to find out).

As far as grants go, your college will look at your FAFSA score and determine if you are eligible.  They receive goverment funds in a lump block, and usually give them to students with the most need.  In other words, go into the Financial Aid office often, be nice to them, and tell them what you need.  If the college policy allows them any flexibility, it might make a difference.  Also, sometimes they assign grants to students who don't show up.  Now that money is back up for grabs.

Bottom line is, there isn't an income cut-off number I can give you.  But you are eligible for financial aid/loans.  You can get scholarships also.  You can work part time or during the summer.  You can live at home to save costs.  You can go to community college or in-state colleges for cheaper tuition.  Are there are offices full of people who want to help you.  Really.  I know you'll find the way for you.  And have a blast.

Answer 2

It is very confusing. It depends on your family. There are many organisations who help to get some scholarships can help in this regard. I got and in my case it was $40000.

You can also try for some other scholarships.

Thankyou.

Answer 3

same with me, I am the  youngest out of 5. My father is retired and my mother is a teacher making less than 40,000 and I still do not qualify for any aid or grants.  Just get a Stafford loan, its one of the best things you can do.

Answer 4

Did you use all your grant money basically it is for sub and unsub loan $46,000 depending on the course.  They you will have to apply for an alternative loan through Sallie Mae and this is base on your credit or your parents can apply for a signature loan.

Answer 5

highest score that they point out

Answer 6

Before you go for loans and doubting yourself search the Internet to see what funds are available, and try applying on your own as if you've just moved out ,there's all kinds of grants and things you can get for you writing  essays,answering essay questions however search your opportunity's before you start with loan sharks (INTERNET!!)has a lot of solutions seriously

Answer 7

It would depend on family size. For a family of 3 or more, the cut off amount that your parents can make is I think 40,000, I'm not entirely sure though, it might be even less.
