Hi everyone.
So pretty much everyone applying should fill out the FAFSA, to see if they are eligible for federal aid. My mom filled it out, but we do not fit the requirements. I live in a wealthy town, and my family owns a small business. We make a decent amount of money, but I have three siblings and we honestly do not have as much money as the website thinks we can pay. How else do people get financial aid?
On all the mail I get from colleges, it says "98% of students receive need-based aid" and stuff like this, but what does it mean? Also, it can say, "on average, students get $45,000 of aid at this school". Where does this money come from, and am I eligible for it?
Thanks for any responses.
