How does a parent divorce affect college financial aid?

We Answered:

It will affect the information that you'll provide for next year. This year your financial aid will remain the same. When you fill out the fafsa next year, you'll provide the information from the parent whom you lived with the most during 2010. If you don't live with either of your parents in 2010 (which I assume since you're not in college yet that you're living with one of your parents), then you'll provide the information for whoever provided you the most support. You may qualify for more financial aid next year, since you'll only be providing the information for one of your parents and yourself.

Kristina Said:

for college financial aid is it better to have debt or eliminate it?

We Answered:

Debt has no effect on financial aid, but the rental income will. Your son will have to provide is income and asset information and your income and asset information... his eligibility for grants will be based on income... not debts or expenses (although costly medical expenses are considered - if this applies). It's not necessary to pay off any debts, although depending on family income, you may want to sell the rental property so that you can help your son pay for college - this will depend on his eligibility for grants, whether he will receive scholarships, and how expensive his school is (financial aid has limits). If he doesn't qualify for any grants, the maximum a dependent freshman can borrow is currently up to $5,500/year.

How do I apply for college financial aid without a HS class rank?

We Answered:

Never in any financial aid application I've ever filled out has it ever asked for a class rank. FAFSA is more about your financial need. Meaning, the less money you have, the more money they'll offer you.
