-Some people may think that your income is too high to qualify for college financial aid. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Especially if the student is applying for a college that costs $60K a year.
(Financial aid is designed to make a college education available for students of families in many financial situations. An abundance of merit-based scholarships are not based on a family’s income at all. Even some higher-income families may qualify for need-based financial aid due to circumstances such as multiple children in college, etc.)
- You must fill out a FAFSA form even if you think you are not qualified for financial aid.
