<p>To happymomof1:
She lives in IL. Wants to major in fashion design. Scores/grades are ave (no scholarships to hope for)</p>
<p>To all others: Father there is all absorbed in his new family and business, he is one of those parents about whom we could sadly say he doesn’t care. He’s not giving anything because his new wife is not giving anything.</p>
<p>On FAFSA you <em>must</em> report income of both of your biological parents. You can’t just say about one, even if you don’t live with another. (The student lives with Mom)</p>
<p>Since her father files jointly with his new wife, all <em>her</em> income is also included in the formular FAFSA uses to calculate EFC. Dad’s new wife cares even less…and from what I know, they put all the income back into business (not much spare funds, taking into consideration that that is a big family on its own)</p>
<p>Interesting article above…Has anybody here or you know ever married someone for things like in-state tuition? If two out-of-state students marry, would they automatically qualify for un-state tuition? Really?</p>
