From wiki The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA) is a form that can be filled out annually by current and anticipating university students (both undergraduate and graduate) and sometimes their parents in the United States to determine their eligibility for federal student financial aid (including Pell grants, Stafford loans, PLUS loans, and work-study programs).[1] In addition, most states and schools use information from the FAFSA to award non-federal aid. The FAFSA consists of numerous questions regarding the student's finances, as well as those of his or her family; these are entered into a formula that determines the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). A number of factors are used in determining the EFC including the family size, income, number in college, and assets (not including retirement and 401(k) funds). This information is required because of the expectation that parents will contribute to their child's education, whether that is true or not.[2] Students who will not be receiving parental aid for college expenses may be able to appeal directly to their school of choice for a reevaluation of aid awards based on their personal circumstances. The FAFSA does not have questions related to student or family race, ethnicity or religion. A Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary of the FAFSA responses, is forwarded to the student. The student should review the SAR carefully for errors and make any corrections. An electronic version of the SAR (called an ISIR) is sent to colleges/universities the student selected on the FAFSA. The ISIR is also sent to state agencies that award state need-based aid. Schools may award aid on a first-come, first-served basis, and students are advised to fill out the FAFSA as early as possible for consideration for maximum financial assistance. | ||

The Canadian has a good point in saying that not everyone is from America. Hard to believe, I know. | ||

You can borrow up to whatever the school decides is the total cost of attending, which includes everything like housing, food, transportation, entertainment, etc. If you plan to eat ramen, live with a bunch of roommates, and never spend any money, you can have money left over for a car. | ||

It's funny because I'm sure most of the really poor people who actually really need it can't figure out how to fill it out and stuff. You need all sorts of records and things like that, kind of like filing a tax return I think. | ||
