Sometimes schools and/or third party merit scholarships require you submit a FAFSA to be eligible for merit aid. The INFO from the FAFSA is not used, but they want to see you submit one. This rule started at the colleges that have it to ensure middle class folks get any grants they may be eligible for BEFORE the school gives their own money. Obviously won’t work like that here, but the requirement to submit a FAFSA may still stand. I’d do it just for that reason. Like I said, no one will use the info to determine merit aid, etc.
