<p>I live with my mother, so is my aid based on her income only? My father pays a bit of child support, but my brother and I are really living on what she makes.</p>
<p>True, at FAFSA only schools, but not true at schools that take the CSS Profile</p>
<p>kind of true for fafsa...</p>
<p>For FAFSA, the aid will be based on your mothers and your income (and savings).</p>
<p>She will also have to report the amount of child support received and it gets counted as income.</p>
