Age and NeedAccess

Post by mdu » Sun Feb 07, 2016 5:48 am

Hello,

I am 28 and married with 3 kids, although my parents are professionals who make decent salaries.
First of all, does anybody know what the age cutoff is for NeedAccess not to look at the parents?
I know this varies somewhat from school to school- I am focusing on Top 7 + Georgetown.
Secondly, I have been accepted to some and not heard anything yet from others; can I already fill out NeedAccess and FAFSA and have it sent to all?

Thanks in advance for your advice and assistance.

The schools I went through this with counted my parents at the same age, small sample in the 7-12 region though.

Thanks for the reply!

Does anybody know if need based scholly is reevaluated every year? (So even if my parents are counted at 28, maybe by age 30 they won't be?)

Also, any advice on the second question above? (regarding if I apply for NeedAccess to schools that I have not heard back from yet?)

Thanks all.

All I can say is the general advice that you don't rely on need aid and keep your expectations in check. The reason it's not talked about much on here is not many people get it, and those that do generally don't get much of it.
