<p>Do we need to send the FAFSA forms even if we don't apply for financial aid?</p>
<p>hard to answer. Some schools I do believe require the filing to accept merit money also.</p>
<p>Stuff happens. Unless the family is swimming in dough, if family circumstances change, FAFSA will aready be on file at the finaid office. FAFSA is also required for federal loans that are not need based.</p>
<p>It look like I have to finish my "fin aid homework", thank you for your answers.</p>
