<p>hello, my family doesn't want to fill out fafsa because we filled it out once and my sister didn't get any financial aid. so my parents don't want to fill it out again, so will i be able to go to any college or will some college not even look at my college application because i didn't fill out the fafsa</p>
<p>also my parents plan on paying for the college so i don’t really need financial aid but can i still apply to any college</p>

<p>You don’t really need to file FAFSA, but all, if not, most colleges recommend that you do. </p>
<p>It’s still worth it to file and see how much aid you’ll get. Even if your parents are going to pay, it still helps knowing that you could lower the cost of the tuition. </p>
<p>You can still go to college without filing FAFSA. Not filing it doesn’t mean you don’t get to go. It just means that you won’t get federal aid, grants, etc… You will still be able to get scholarships from your college.</p>
<p>If your family is full-pay, you need to check with the colleges that you are applying to and find out how they use FAFSA and other aid applications.</p>
<p>Some require the FAFSA for all students who will be considered for merit-based scholarships even when those individual scholarships are awarded without consideration of need. Why? To make sure the scholarship awardees get all the aid they deserve.</p>
<p>Some places will not consider students for need-based aid in future years if they don’t apply their first year. Why? It keeps people from “tricking” them about their real need. And yes, no aid in the future other than aid you are guaranteed by the Feds. Not one cent of the college/Us own money. No matter what happens to your financial situation.</p>
<p>If you file the FAFSA, even if your college/U has no money to give out, and even if you don’t qualify for free federal money, you will still be automatically eligible to borrow student loans. This comes to $5,500 freshman year, $6,500 sophomore year, and $7,500 each year in junior, senior, and extra years you might need (until you have borrowed a certain maximum that I don’t recall).</p>
<p>It is a wonderful thing to finish college debt-free. If you and your parents have looked at the costs of your colleges, and you can manage them without any loans, you are truly fortunate. Thank those parents of yours profusely!</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
<p>thank you for answering and yes i am very fortunate but i’m kinda confuse at these schools can you check them out to be sure i’m sorry (i’m just confused)

<p>randm21, just check out the financial aid page at each school. Read what they say. Most schools encourage you to fill out FAFSA, even if you don’t need aid right now, because if you don’t and you find you need aid another year, you won’t be eligible for any help from the school. Like, your parents can pay right now. But what if there is job loss, extreme illness with huge medical bills, or some other financial catastrophe, and all of a sudden your family can’t pay for school? If you don’t apply for potential aid now, that will disqualify you from ever getting any help from the school should you need it. Plenty of kids apply and attend college with full pay and never file the FAFSA.</p>
