FAFSA , first time filler here.

Paying for College
1

<p>Hey guys, my name is Arjun. Ive been at Arizona State University for two years now. Till about 2 months ago i was an international student on a regular F-1 Visa type.</p>

<p>I am now a permanent resident of the United States and eligible to file the FAFSA, my parents are very strapped for cash (they live in India), after paying for mine and my sister's college tuition and expenses for the past 4 years.</p>

<p>So I am trying to fill the FAFSA form for aid and apply to any scholarships i may be eligible for. Many of the fields are very tough for me to fill since it asks a lot of information that i do not have, things like Parents tax and my own tax returns for the past year. Since I have neither i am stuck.</p>

<p>If anyone out here has been in a similar situation , i would really appreciate if they could help me fill the form.(I can call by phone / email /instant message)</p>

<p>If anyone has a link to a guide to filling the fafsa , it would be appreciated too.</p>

<p>THanks
Arjun
PS: Srry for some broken english</p>

<p>Go here</p>

<p><a href="http://www.edupass.org/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.edupass.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>That is a big time, respected web site for international students. They have a big section on the FAFSA and whatnot. </p>

<p>Please never give your personal information to anyone! Never broadcast your intent to give your personal information to anyone in the manner you describe-especially on a darned messageboard. In the US, there is a weird crime called Identity Theft and you do not want to be a victim of that at all, honey:)</p>

<p>Go to the web site I put on this post, read and learn, and then go to the Head of your Financial Aid Department for help because they will be nice and honest and try to help you.</p>
