Does anyone else think your school's financial aid rules are unfair???

Question

At my school we file FAFSA. It is a big application that MUST include your income tax info, as well as your parents'/step parents' no exceptions, except if you have a kid. My parents told me they were not going to pay for my schooling, but they required me to include their income and therefore said we had enough money to pay for it. I had a friend that moved out of her parents' house because they had some problems and she is still required to get that tax info that her parents refuse to give her..that is unfair she makes 6$ and hour!!! They told me I have to include my parent's income until I am 25 (which i'll graduate before then). I though things would change now that I am married. I no longer have to include my parents income. I qualify for grants because of our income.. but the school is giving me the run around because they don't want to hand it over. Any one else have stories that are unfair b/c of ur situation that is making your life more difficult?

for the 1st answer...if you tell them they are deceased they'll want the death certificate...they check EVERYTHING!!!

Answer 1

Just tell them your parents are deceased. Nothing they can do then.

Shame on your paretns. Stick to it, ok?! It'll be worth it!
