<p>You cant make a blanket statement like that. If a family making 250k, had one child in college, at a state school, no you probably wont get anything. However, if you have two kids in college and they are attending schools that cost 50-60k, it is a good chance that you may receive some aid.</p>
<p>Also, some schools require you to file the fafsa to be considered for ANY scholarships including merit. I have a child at Miami University(ohio), and you have to file the fafsa if you want to be considered for scholarships.</p>
