Parental info on FAFSA??
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2017 1:09 am
Does anyone know if we need to include our parent's information on the FAFSA forms? My parents are not especially keen on having me include all their financial information until it's absolutely necessary. Additionally, could our parents' assets hurt our chances at receiving generous financial aid? My parents are retired but have significant assets. I will be 26 when I begin law school.
I know that the CSS Profile has to be filled out for most schools, but is this less information than that required by the FAFSA? I looked at the info they asked for and it seems pretty comprehensive. My situation is complicated by the fact that only one of my parents is a US citizen and thus they file taxes in Canada as well...
