HELP Is it too late for me to apply FAFSA? weird situation ...

Paying for College
1

<p>I just got my BA, but am going back to community college for an associate of science degree.</p>

<p>I just turned in my application yesterday, and will have to wait a couple of days until I can register for college.</p>

<p>I tried filling out the FAFSA but it keeps giving me an ERROR message, because my situation seems contradictory:</p>

<p>"will you have a BA before July?" (yes)
"will you be working on a graduate program? Like MA or PH.D? (NO)</p>

<pre><code> = ERROR, your answers seem wrong.
</code></pre>

<p>I think I could just pay for my education if I just applied for some national or local college scholarships,but is it worth it to apply anyway?</p>

<p>As you already have a BA you are not eligible for federal grant aid such as the Pell. Federal grants are only for students who do not already have a bachelors. </p>

<p>I believe you are still eligible for student loans as long as you have not already exceeded the maximum amount of loans. But I am not sure how a CC will treat your financial aid application as you already have so many credits. I am not sure how you get round the error on FAFSA though. I would suggest calling the FAFSA helpline.</p>

<p>OK…I’ll bite. Why are you getting an associates degree?</p>
