Answer: You can get financial aid without being married when you ...
You can get financial aid without being married when you fill out the FAFSA, however, if you are under 24 yrs old you are considered to be "dependent" on your parents, and you will have to use their information on the forms. If you get married, you are automatically "independent" for financial aid purposes and don't have to use your parents' information, however, you have to report your spouses income on your FAFSA forms. If the two of you make too much money, you may not be eligible for any aid at all.
You can visit fafsa.ed.gov for more information
Good Luck!

Answer: Yes, you can get financial aid whether you're married, ...
Yes, you can get financial aid whether you're married, single, separated, divorced, widowed, etc...
The FAFSA asks two questions:
As of today, are you married? (Q50) (Answer ?Yes? if you are separated but not divorced.) This question is one of the things that determines whether the student is dependent (on his/her parents) or independent.
Your marital status as of today (Q16)
? Single, divorced, or widowed
? Married/remarried ? Separated
?As of today? refers to the day that you sign your FAFSA. This question is used to determine whose financial information should be included on the FAFSA. Single, divorced, widowed, and separated students should only include their income and information. Married/remarried students should include their and their spouse's income and information.
Hope it helps... Good Luck!

Question: Can an H2B visa holder apply for (college) financial aid (FAFSA)?
Answer: In the spectrum of educational funding, scholarships and ...
In the spectrum of educational funding, scholarships and grants are the "free money." These awards do not need to be repaid. In general, scholarships are given based on merit and grants are given based on financial need. They may be awarded based on need, or excellence in academics or other areas, or on a combination of both. The aid may be given by the federal or state government.
Many scholarships awarded to University students have separate processes, deadlines, eligibility criteria, and application forms. The resource links provided here will introduce you to a wide spectrum of possibilities available from the University and numerous other philanthropic agencies, organizations, and individuals.
Now the question is that how college funding works, the types of scholarships available, how to find them and how to apply for them. That?s pretty standard issue for a website about scholarships, although we think if you?ll pardon us saying so, that we?ve done an excellent and job of being comprehensive and readable. Here?s what?s different.
Scholarships are the ideal form of student aid, as they're basically gifts that never have to be repaid. On the other hand, student loans must be repaid, but they're made at very low interest rates, and you're usually you're not required to begin repayment until six months after you graduate. Some student loans require you to prove financial need, but some of them don't. Many students turn to student loans as a method to pay for college. Basically, if you cannot get access to the free money you have to borrow it in the form of a student loan.

Question: Financial Aid Help?
One of colleges requires the following:
Signed copies of the student's and parents' 2007 federal tax return and W2 forms (copies of 2006 federal tax returns required for Early Decision).
When they say signed copies, do they mean parents have to physically sign EACH page? My parents had someone else file their taxes, and it features numeric signatures. Should I have them physically sign each page to be safe?
Answer: Not each page. but probably the last page of the actual tax ...
Not each page. but probably the last page of the actual tax form. (not the last page of the tax packet they got back from the preparer)
Answer: no I think they will let you print one page to sign and mail ...
no I think they will let you print one page to sign and mail to them. I print it and let parents sign it, or if your parents have pin number, just use their pin, they don't need to sign anymore I guess
Question: I'm 20 and cant receive financial aid because parents dont pay taxes. What can I do?
I go to a two year school and have been asking parents to fill out a FAFSA for a couple of years. Now I want to transfer to a much more expensive school and Father refuses on the basis that he makes far too much money to get any aid. I recently found paper work saying it is because he owes about 200grand to the US goverment from having not paid taxes in quite a long time. I also found records of him having an excessive amount of credit card debt. Basically there is no way parents can pay for me to go themselves if theyd have even consider it, and I cant apply for any kind of assistance.
I'm 20 yrs old, ive been working full time making 10 dollars an hour while going to school but things are expensive and I cant afford to save anything being as im paying for communty college myself in addition to many other expenses.
Other than feeling completely betrayed and uncared for by selfish parents im also completely at a loss of what to do. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for all your thoughtful answers. (sarcasm). Joining the military (stupid option) and asking them to pay taxes, wow why didn't I think of that?! and I'm NOT forgetting the idea of college, I dont want to have to struggle the rest of life. I cant consider myself independent ive already looked it up, theres no way. Ive read I can turn father in and get a reward but I believe he recently turned himself in and is in the process of working himself out of this hole. I could care less if I have anything to do with them at this point. And for the person who said get a job and stop whining...did you read the post? ive had a job, ive been working to help myself pay for school even though dad makes alot of money and COULD afford community college. Thanks for all your wisdom I can tell I came to the right place.
-thanks to the people who actually showed some compassion. I do appreciate it

Do what I did, join the military. You an chose as I did the Coast Guard, or go into one of the fighting services. The GI bill will help pay.
Join the military is a stupid option? You friend are no better than your dead beat parents. Enjoy your career at Mcdonalds!!!!

I suggest you get a job and try to pay through college by yourself. Your mommy and daddy won't pay for everything for you. It's time for you to grow up and be a man!babay!!!!haha lol
Answer: Get pregnant and have a baby so you won't have to claim ...
Get pregnant and have a baby so you won't have to claim your parent's income! No, you really shouldn't do that. You're screwed!
Answer: take a year off and save as much as you can. STAY THE HELL ...
take a year off and save as much as you can. STAY THE HELL AWAY from plastic and learn to budget with your debit account. LEARN from your parent's stupidity. try and get on your own as soon as possible. once you establish yourself as being financially responsible and build your credit by paying your bills on time you will be able to qualify for financial aid on your own.
PS discover card is the only one that will make family members pay debt not in their name after death that I know of.if your folks have this card thats the first that has to get paid off. master and visa will cancel the debt after they die. im not sure how it works with taxes.

Answer: I belive that if you petition the state to become ...
I belive that if you petition the state to become emancipated the colleges will then look at your financial situations and probally permit you take loans. Since they will be looking at you as one person not your parents and you.
Answer: Emancipate yourself from your parents. Looks like Daddy ...
Emancipate yourself from your parents. Looks like Daddy will be going to jail when the IRS catches up with him anyhow. If you emancipate yourself from them, you solely can qualify for aid without their financial information. Good luck!
Answer: Are you still living at home? If so then you may be ...
Are you still living at home? If so then you may be screwed. If not then you may be able to claim that you are independent, (emancipated?), and get the financial aid yourself to put yourself through.
Answer: Um join the club! It's called "life"....sorry ...
Um join the club! It's called "life"....sorry to dissappoint you but you're not the only one out there who would love to go to a better school but can't afford it, and doesn't qualify for financial aid. Why not see what kinds of scholarships are available to you? Or just bite the bullet and finish your schooling at the community college? Not much else you can do....what doesn't kill you makes you stronger....yeah I know you're probably sick of hearing that phrase but it's true.....grow up and stop depending on your parents for everything....they're not always going to be there for you anyways....you only have yourself to depend on in this world...sad but true.
Answer: I'm 21 and nearly the EXACT SAME THING happened to me ...
I'm 21 and nearly the EXACT SAME THING happened to me this semester. I kept wondering why they wouldn't help me. Uh, can you say, "Suprise!" I can't go back to school until I save for it myself. I just moved out 6 months ago, making 2 bucks less then you...so I understand! At least you have more of a head start than I do! Hey, if other people can do it, we can! : ) Good luck, man!
Answer: i'm in the same boat as far as paying for stuff on ...
i'm in the same boat as far as paying for stuff on own, but it's because parents are keeping the money for themselves. Not sure what happened to that college fund they said they had started for me.
anyways, talk to the school you want to transfer to about scholarships, grants and loans available through them. Talk to a financial (aid) adviser there about all your options; they're there to help and I'm sure they'd want you at their school.
search for scholarships on www.scholarships.com and www.fastweb.com for ones that you qualify for.
and like the other person said, stay away from credit cards. use coupons and cut all unnecessary spending. at least to me, college feels like a voluntary vow of poverty. hope we both graduate soon and start makin the big bucks!
