In the FASFA r u suppsoe to say yes to the draft?

Answer 1

Federal financial aid regulations require that all male applicants also be registered with Selective Service. You are required by other federal law, if you are male (and you have no idea how many female students ignore these questions and then have to prove they are not required to register), to register. You have from the period 30 days before your 18th until your 26th birthday to do this, but not being registered means that you can be denied financial aid if you should be registered and aren't. The requirement to register includes all natural born and naturalized citizens and all aliens who are here on a permanent basis, that is with an I-94 entry card as a refugee, parolee, or other status that allows you to remain here indefinitely, an I-766 card, and an I-551 card (green card), or are in the process of applying for such cards. BTW, enlistment in military service, the ROTC, or the Reserves or National Guard does NOT register you for Selective Service.

Students who are not registered by the time they turn 26 must provide documentation that they were not US citizens and did not reside in the US at the time. Otherwise the only exception to the requirement to register is being incarcerated for the entire period. If you don't register the aid office can refuse to give you aid.

http://www.sss.gov/regist.htm is where you can get information on registration and register on line. If you answer Yes to the FAFSA question, btw, and you are not within 30 days of your 18th birthday you will be automatically registered by this process at the appropriate time. You must only register once in your lifetime.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, you have to register with Selective Service to qualify for FAFSA if you are a male. The Draft was eliminated in 1973 under President Richard Nixon, but the Democrats have been the ones talking about reinstating it in recent years. It became tied to the FAFSA through the Solomon Amendment to the Workforce Investment Act. I know it sounds unfair. However, at least since World War 1, there has been a Consciencious Objector option available. If you want to avoid it, maybe it is an idea to go to college when you are 26 because that is when Selective Service System is done. Another option would be attend the local community college and work while attending it.

Answer 3

By draft, do you mean Selective Service? If so, yes if you want financial aid and no if you don't. Call me a fool, but I think there it is the law for all males 18 and over should sign up for selective service. I am an army veteran (23 years old) and let me tell you, despite what CNN says, the military has more than enough soldiers to deploy, you will not get called. It is not that easy. My husband is an Army recruiter and there is also more than enough people signing up for the military, so do not worry.

Answer 4

Yup; if you haven't registered with the Selective Service (or whatever they're calling it this week), you're not going to be eligible for LOTS of stuff.

Answer 5

Yeppers!

Answer 6
