Question: #10: How does FAFSA figure the financial aid you should receive?
I just completed my FAFSA. I've lived on my own for two years but I still need my parents tax information, which I think is ridiculous. Does anybody know how they figure what you are able to receive in financial aid?Well, I've already done all this. I've done my parents tax information, and mine. I just don't understand how they assume that if you're under 25, you still need your parents tax information.

Question: #11: When applying for FAFSA does your financial aid start in Fall?
I have a friend who needs financial aid for this spring semester, and I am afraid that financial aid through FAFSA doesn't start until fall semester. I assume she can get financial aid for summer through the school, but what should she do for spring quarter after this winter quarter?

Question: #13: How can the FAFSA form for the 2010-2011 school year have a priority deadline of February 1st?
Some parents don't even get their W2 forms until after February 1st, so they don't know what their gross income is, let alone their adjusted gross income. If somebody that is filling out the FAFSA 2010-2011 school year form or somebody else who knows can help me clear this up, that would be great. Thank you.

Question: #14: Why does the Department of Education FAFSA laws dictate a family's choice to raise independentchildren?
FAFSA app has 7 criterions one must meet in order to claim independent status. Most students parents raise them to be independent to handle their own college costs so the parent(s) can save for their retirement. It is so easy for the government to say its the parent's responsibility to pay their child's education; but the schools & the govt have a business relationship with each other in order to stick parents with even more debt for the sake of educating their children. As a parent, I taught my child to be financially responsible and independent because I have to also save for my retirement. At 18 years old, a child can apply for credit, rent apartments and apply for car loans. Why can't the same child apply for school loans under FAFSA? Esp. under the circumstances the parent(s)saving for their retirement& not be dependent on their kids in their elder years. The DOE is such a joke because it appears to give grants to schools to help students only to issue $$$ loans and a $50 grant!

Question: #16: If you apply for FAFSA for only summer semester how much do you get?
I am planning on attending college for the first time so please excuse me if this question sounds dumb!!! I applied for fafsa for summer 2010 which is considered the end of the academic year for 2009. I was given an EFC of 0. I was wondering if because its the end of the academic school year and I did not apply for aid before, will I get the entire $5500 to put forth towards this semester or would I still only get a portion of it?

What will happen if you and your parents had a falling out since the original filing of the fafsa and they refuse to give you the information required for the verification process? Will the fafsa just be canceled or would any other legal issues or anything like that be taken up? Please help!

Question: #19: Can a son receive the FAFSA if his father is currently receiving the FAFSA?
My boyfriend is applying for the FAFSA and he's an independent under 24 with divorced parents. He's unsure whether to report his father's earnings or his mother's. His father (who has four other dependents and lived off of food stamps in the last 5 years) was approved for the FAFSA and is currently using it. His mother made 90k last year but declared bankruptcy a week ago. My question is, would it hurt him to report his father who is on the FAFSA more than his mother?
