complicated... out of my mind

Paying for College
1

<p>I'm soo confused with these financial aid things...
I thought I was done when I finished my apps....</p>

<p>I'm a high school senior living in VA and attending a high school in VA.
Unfortunately, I'm not a permanant resident or a citizen.
I'm here with a F-2 Visa (that makes me an international student right?)</p>

<p>I'm not going to ask for financial aid.
Do I still have to fill out CSS and FAFSA?</p>

<p>BTW, does asking for FA hurts chances? (at colleges unlike HYP which are need-blind even for intl. students) and does not asking for FA help for intl. students (at colleges that are need-aware?)</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>If you really are not applying for financial aid at all, you do not need to fill out the finaid forms. Just make absolutely sure you are not eligible for any aid at your schools. Even if you are not applying for need based aid, some schools require the FAFSA and Profile for merit based awards. If you plan to pay the full fare wherever you go...you do not need to do the finaid forms.</p>
