<p>Ok I am doing the Fafsa for our daughter who will be a freshman in the fall. To our surprised delight our 20 year old son who stopped going to college after about 3 semesters is suddenly getting serious about going back. So I want to do a FAFSA for him also. Problem is this is just now happening so we do not know yet where he will be going. Can we still do a FAFSA for him? We are going to need all the help we can get with 2 in school.</p>
<p>And if we put 2 in college on our daughters FAFSA at what point do we have to show proof he is enrolled/accepted. I am hopeful he will be but will only know for sure when Sept rolls round.</p>
<p>Yes! Do the FAFSA for each of them-- it actually helps aid-wise to have two in college at the same time. List the colleges he might be interested in, and then when his focus narrows, correct the FAFSA online to include those colleges he's applied for.</p>
<p>You can always go back and make adjustments. I am no where close to having 2006 taxes done, so we estimate as close as we can. Then later when we are done I adjust.</p>
<p>One caveat, if your D's school goes by your statement of 2 in college, you will need to prove your son is enrolled in at least 6 units. If he begins later than your D and takes a while ot decide where he is going, it could affect your D's aid being released.</p>
<p>We were unsure where my younger D would be attending and in the middle of that I had to prove she was enrolled in order for another D's aid to be released. if we had decided the other D would not do school after all, that would have taken 3 more weeks to process. So, try to make your decisions as soon as possible if things are lingering into the summer.</p>
<p>Thank you for all the tips. I am not holding my breath about him going back but am keeping my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Somemom - so he has to be enrolled for at least half time/6 credits to be counted as 1 in college (for her FAFSA) - is that right. As he has been out for a while I am thinking it might be an idea for him to ease back in the first semester and not take full credits. Not sure how much, if any, aid he will qualify for as he has been working full time. But D should qualify for some.</p>
<p>My D was finishing up and picking up a course or two at a community college. DD2's school only needed proof of 6 units, so that was helpful as D2's semester began a month before D1s quarterly school adn things were complicated.</p>
<p>You can do a FAFSA for your son...BUT you really can't submit it until you have some schools to submit it TO. However, you certainly can put that you have will have two college students on your daughter's FAFSA and then your son's also...assuming he goes to college...as noted above, you will be asked to verify the enrollment of both of your kids for the other's college when the time comes. We did this...we had to verify son's enrollment to daughter's college, and daughter's enrollment to son's college.</p>
