Question: #1: fafsa.........?
Okay, I've already started my fafsa application. But, I didn't finish cause I had to wait for them to email me my pins. Now, I have my pin number but, everytime I go back to continue my fafsa application that page takes a super long time to load... (and this is before I enter my pin number)....Right now, I have the page loading and Its been like an hour or soo....Is fafsa really that busy...or is my computer that slow?? And how am I going to finish my application if the page takes long to load???

Question: #2: I am filling out my FAFSA and was wondering how to calculate income tax?
When i get to the point in my FAFSA where it asks to enter the income tax, I entered the amount of income I made in 2007 but it says that that's wrong. How do I calculate income tax without doing my taxes? I won't receive my W2's for another few weeks and I want to get my FAFSA done now. Help?

Question: #3: 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: #4: Can you still send in your FAFSA if you dont have a drivers license?
I was planning to send in my Fafsa today, but I cant find my drivers license anywhere! The Fafsa asks for a drivers license number. Can I still send it in if I dont have one? And will it be sent back if I send it in without one?

Question: #5: 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: #6: How do I apply for FAFSA without involving my parents?
This may sound silly but is there really no way to bypass having to involve my parents in filling out a FAFSA application? I live on my own but I am not over 24yrs old. I guess that is the big kicker...I live alone and will be paying for the college courses myself so I didn't see any need to contact my parents about this.Help?

Question: #8: How does missing the state FAFSA deadline affect my federal aid chances?
My state FAFSA deadline was April 1 but I'll definately be able to get the federal application done in time. I start grad school in a month. If I filled out the FAFSA now am I in danger of not getting the funds in time?

Question: #9: Does a college student have to send in a FAFSA application?
I'm in college and need financial aid to afford it. But I am not sure whether I have to send in a FAFSA application or can I just take out a private student loan to pay for my college. The money I get from the FAFSA doesn't cover all of my college expenses anyways, and I need to apply for an additional loan through a private loaner regardless. So is it okay for me to only apply for a private loan and to not even bother with a FAFSA? If anybody has any information on this topic please post an answer. Thank you.

Question: #10: What do you do if your parents refuse to provide info for fafsa for financial aid?
This friend's parents refused to allow her to file FAFSA because they didn't want their taxes "in the government." They are broke and won't be able to help with tuition, so how can she go about emancipating herself financially for the FAFSA?

Question: #13: What exactly does the Expected Family Contribution mean on the FAFSA?
I filled out the FAFSA and my EFC is $15,000, which is ridiculous because my Dad was laid off and has been on unemployment for 5 months, and Mom works as a manager at Target. School costs $9,500. Does that mean I am not eligible for any financial aid?Does anyone know of any good scholarships? My GPA is really good, and I'm transferring as a junior with a major in Genetics and Cell Biology. I'm working as an intern, and I'll only net about $4,000. ANY advice would be really appreciated.I should also mention that my parents have told me there isn't any money for me. No college fund for Chris. Anything I can get other than loans?

Question: #14: how do I get around fafsa's eligibility regulations to be considered an independentstudent ?
I have been fighting the financial aid office at my school to file for independency being that my mother will not pay my tuition and does not contribute to help me whatsoever. Fafsa does not consider me independent because of its requirements you must meet and they dont consider my situation "dire" enough. Any suggestions?

Question: #15: How do they determine on FAFSA how much you will get for financial aid?
Is it based on how much the school tution, your age, your income, and the school? I don't live with my parents, I am in my late 20s possibly thinking about attending school. I know what FAFSA is, but I just want to know how do they determine how much they will approve for financial aid. Thanks!!

Question: #19: Can I apply for FAFSA as a sophomore in college next year?
I didn't apply for FAFSA aid this year (figured I wouldn't get anything since my parents make about $110k a year), and I kind of regret doing so. My parents also felt uncomfortable about filling out all of the personal information. I was planning to file a FAFSA next year just incase, though, and I was wondering if you can file for a FAFSA as a college sophomore? Is the FAFSA a "by the year" thing or is it for four years?

Question: #27: Do you need to fill out the Fafsa to take out a private loan?
I took out a sallie mae private loan that was approved already and I was even given a disbursement date. The problem is when I called the college they said I should pay my tuition in cash, because they need me to fill out the Fafsa first? I thought private loans didn't require a filing of the Fafsa? Does that make any sense to anyone? HELP. I don't qualify for government aid because I didn't take 24 cumulative credits last year. Thanks.

Question: #28: How do I contest the results of a FAFSA?
I qualified for the tuition waiver but need money for books. The FAFSA goes off of how much money you make but does not consider the fact that I have HUGE bills - including a student loan from a trade school. How do you contest the results of the FAFSA and get more money (not loans) for books and housing?
