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???

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: #5: 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.

How soon does the school or FAFSA send your financial aid award if you applied on time but needed to clear up a problem with the department of education, if you cleared up the problem about 2 days ago. The school is now only waiting for an academic plan to be filled out and then they said the financial aid file will be complete , so when should they send out the financial aid award?

Question: #10: How does my parents financial information effect my financial aid on my FAFSA?
This year I had to estimate my parent's tax information on my FAFSA and correct it later because i needed to meet my FAFSA priority deadline and they file late. Now that I have their actual information, their earnings are much higher then what I estimated. Will this reduce any aid I may already have? Also, what can happen if the values on my FAFSA do not match the numbers on their federal return?

Question: #17: 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: #20: 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: #23: 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?

Question: #25: 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?

Question: #26: 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?

I submitted FAFSA and then made corrections a day later. The institution has received the first transaction but not the second (the corrections). I see the corrections have processed on FAFSA's site. Can I go to the financial aid office of my institution and will they be able to pull the latest transactions instantly? Or should I print out the corrections? I just don't want the corrections to be overlooked and I want to get everything out of the way ASAP.
