FAFSA help

<p>I'm an international student in the US. and since I have lived here for quite a while (but no green card), my counselor told me to submit a FAFSA just to see what happens. Well on the first page of the FAFSA, I have to provide a social security number before proceeding. How can I fill out a FAFSA without inputting a ss #? My parents works for a local university, so I qualify for instate tuition in my state. That's gotta mean something... right?</p>

<p>You would have to file a paper FAFSA. You cannot file online. Filing a paper FAFSA may help you to see if there is institutional or state aid you may qualify for. You will not be eligible for federal aid if you are not a permanent resident.</p>
