<p>I have lived in the usa for more than 7 years, but i am only a Resident Alien (no green card) with a H4 visa. Should i still fill out the FAFSA and the CSS profile? </p>
<p>Will this hinder any scholarships i get? </p>
<p>My parents income is about 100k</p>
<p>With an H-4 visa you are not eligible for federal or state aid. While you do attend school in the US for admissions and financial aid purposes, you are an international student.</p>
<p>Yes, you should fill out the CSS profile. While you cannot file the on-line version of the FAFSA, some schools will request the paper version of the FAFSA.</p>
<p>
It depends on the schools. Some schools only award merit-based scholarships to US citizen and certain noncitizen.</p>
<p>
However, if you graduated from high school in US (plus some other requirement), you could attend some state schools at in-state tuition rates.</p>
<p>
Even if you have a green card, due to high parental income, you likely qualify for Federal loans only.</p>
