<p>I heard this from someone, but I don't know if it's true. Can anyone confirm that you need to have a FAFSA if you want to accept ANY of the scholarships (not just the need-based ones)?</p>
<p>Fafsa is only for financial aid and calculating your efc, not merit scholarships. But if you're applying to online scholarships, some are based on both merits and need, so you'd have to fill one out I believe.</p>
