<p>I am planning on going back to college in fall07. I will be a veteran. Does that mean I will be considered an independant for FAFSA? </p>
<p>Otherwise, I turn 24 in April07, and will be getting married in April07 as well. I am supposed to fill out FAFSA as soon as possible, right? If so, I can't wait till April07. Will my financial aid be calculated according to my status the day I fill out the form, or would they want me to tell them when I got married so they can change the numbers?</p>
<p>I am thinking all of these factors will greatly change my financial aid, although I don't realize how yet.</p>
<p>Also, I have one last question for now. I will qualify for the Mongomery GI bill. Is that calculated before or after FAFSA. For example, if FAFSA says I should have to pay 10,000 a year, is that before or after MGIB. I think MGIB pays out w little over 6,000 for two full semesters (although this is all really confusing, too). So, of course I am really hoping MGIB has nothing to do with FAFSA and would be considered my own financial input. </p>
<p>This is really confusing. You are awesome if you have any answers. Thanks, Sara</p>
