<p>My son is a freshman. We had a high EFC last year but filed a FAFSA anyway. We have similar numbers this year. Do we even need to file a FAFSA this year? He has a merit scholarship not based on need, just has to keep a certain GPA.</p>
<p>You'll have to check with the school. Some seem to require annual FAFSA filing. The school DD1 attends does not (and I'm in the same boat).</p>
