I'm 19, married and a resident of NYC. Our household income is 50K. Cost of living is VERY pricey in the area..We have his college loan debt and other debt (which is about 20-30K.) I can't figure out how much I could get since the online financial aid calculators are usually based toward dependent students. We weren't married for the last taxable year. I filed taxes with my parents before who made 130K in 2004, 50K in 2005, and are currently unemployeed in 2006. (My father was a military official in Iraq who got hurt badly... which accounts for the drop in income.)
Do I have to put my parents income at all?? I couldn't afford to pay for than 5K a semester and I'm looking at someone that's about 15K a semester.
I do know about FAFSFA and I will fill one out but I'm trying to budget it out to make sure Pace would be an option or if I should look at less expensive schools.
Is anyone experienced with this? I'm having a really hard time figuring out the system.
