<p>I wasn't sure where to put this, but I have a question about filling out the fafsa for grad school. It has a section where it asks if you want to put your assets down. If you say , Yes, it has you list your bank account amounts. I don't have more than 5,000 total, but what is the reason for doing either? I know for parents, it isn't an option.
Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>reason? isn’t it same as the basic concept of FAFSA? to see how poor/rich you are, the poorer you are, the better eligibility you have for aids</p>
<p>say if you put down you have 2 million dollars in the bank, then FAFSA will obviously give you a very low number on aids eligibility. And schools will not aid you easily.</p>
<p>I found my answer, I had a choice because of my age and because I file a 1040EZ. The answer is optional for me this year, but it really wouldn’t matter much either way.</p>
