Declaring Parent Income on FAFSA
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 10:20 pm
Hi all -
This is probably a question for a financial aid office employee but I am having a hard time getting a response from my email.
The question is: some of the schools I applied to (UNC, UGA) do not seem to require the disclosure of parental income and assests on the FAFSA but GW does for people born before 1981. Right now, due to my low-paying public interest employment, my contribution is only around $10,000. However, obviously when I include my parents information for GW that number is going to skyrocket. Do you know if schools parse this information out or am I screwed by changing my FAFSA for Gdubbs?
edits to clarify what I meant, It has been a long day...
