<p>I have no interest in federal or state handouts, but I was just informed that I should have applied for "financial aid" even if all I am interested in is an unsubsidized loan.</p>
<p>Is this true?</p>
<p>If so, what can I do about it now?</p>
<p>file a fafsa--it can cause no harm--do it ASAP. <a href="http://www.fafsa.ed.gov%5B/url%5D">www.fafsa.ed.gov</a></p>
