Brandon asked:
I have already filled out my fafsa. I am in Graduate school and have used about 40k in financial aid so far for grad/undergrad. My wife owes about 5k but she is still going to be freshman starting over at Rose State (a junior college). We are married filing jointly and EFC was about 980. What can will we receive for the 2008-2009 school year?
Also, is the cap for us as a couple, or will they “cap” us separately at individual limits?

How do I get financial aid for living expenses and supplies, not tuition?

Makayla B asked:
I am going to a small private couture school abroad and US financial aid does not work with that school. My tuition is being paid for by the school but I still need financial aid to afford the numerous supplies that I am going to need as well as daily living expenses. Are there any student loans for people in my position?

Samantha B asked:
I have never had financial aid before, but I am now hoping to return to college (in Florida) for spring 2008 and will only be able to do so with the help of financial aid. Is it possible for me to qualify for financial aid in time for the spring semester? If so, when would the deadline be to have all my forms submitted?

Kimberly s asked:
I’m 24, married and a mother. I’m also pretty broke. Any scholership programs and grants are good too. I asked the financial aid office at the school but they are so busy I didn’t get much of an answer. I also live in Nebraska. I don’t know where to begin looking. Thanks!

Tiffany B asked:
I went to school once I graduated high school. I partied and slept. I went to another school which my mother help pay for me to get there(and the first one). My mother and I had some issues so I moved out. She vowed never to pay for another semester. And so far she has held true to that. We worked through our issues, but that small time that i spent out of her house, I ruined my credit. I have been trying to get it back decent but it is a slow process. Is there anything that I can do to get financial aid? Or just monies to better my credit?

I finished applying for financial aid on September 2nd. Being really broke and recently laid off I am in desperate need of money but I have not heard word from anyone for almost 2 months now. I asked the financial aid office at school and I was told it should take one and a half months but that has past. What should I do?

How does FAFSA figure the financial aid you should receive?

Sara asked:
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.
