Question:
I just applied to school, for the semester starting november 9th. When trying to get my parents to do my Financial aide paperwork, none of them would give me the information that I needed. They both refused. I don't meet any requirements to file as independent, and tomorrow is the deadline to get my financial aid paperwork in. I have searced and searched for scholarships and grants, but to no avail. I can either find a loophole in the FAFSA thing, or I need to make 6 thousand dollars in 1 week. My credit is terrible, and I have been denied everywhere i have gone to for a loan. does anybody know what i can do?
Answer:
I'm sorry but about the only thing you can do is postpone your enrollment, earn the money while researching scholarships, and try the next time registration is open.
Have you talked to the financial aid counselors to see if they had any suggestions?
I also suggest you sit down with your parents and discuss why they are reluctant to provide you with the necessary paperwork to complete your FAFSA. Discuss does not mean getting angry and raising your voice. It means calm conversation full of facts.
Have you researched the process for emancipation? Can it be done or are you still dependent on your parents for room and board?
Good luck and please don't give up.
