FAFSA gotta be ran by Mr. Krabs b'

Having a job has nothing to do with being independent

You can be 23 making 6 figures and if you don't meet requirements then you are still dependent and need parental info

you 23 and making 6 figures, why you tryna get out student loans? :lol:
 
You shouldn't be but I'm just saying for an example
Yeah, only way you would get it if you proved your family was gone from your life or some crazy backstory and how nice your finaid director is. But your own job and income doesn't matter, which I guess is what you're trying to say.

If your parent(s) make over a certain amount you aren't getting grants for the government period.

Some of these students with one or two parent households with the maximum amount Pell grant get on Instagram talking about "I'm rich" every time refund season comes around. :lol:

It's easy to go to a CC first and get a 3.2+ gpa to get a scholarship at a university. The hard part is keeping it because once you get it, most require you to maintain a 3.0+ to keep it.

I got 5k but that really isn't much, especially when I have dependents but goobment gone goobment
 
Scholarships are what keep me afloat + living at home while I attend school. Nobody really applies for these scholarships so you can rack em up quick. As for FAFSA, I get no type of ish from that because my parents combined make well over the ceiling. However, my school luckily has "middle class" scholarships and financial plans where I'm only required to pay 15% of total income and I get some typa aid from the school itself.
 
I got lucky my pops income counts as international income so only my mom's income counted. I have a discount on my tuition so the school sent me the difference. I feel for you dudes who had to take loans, the system isn't perfect

My grants were a total of 6k for the year. Thank god :frown:

Keep a 3.0-3.5 GPA at the community college around here for 2 years, and you get a full ride to University of Maryland.

i know you get an automatic acceptance but I've never heard of a full ride...

Ah, I had a homie who got a full ride.

He went to PG for 2 years and showed out, ended up not having to pay a thing.

Soooo didn't dude say he filed as independent because he's 24? Isn't that the first reason on this list?
