<p>If I state on my application that I am going to apply for federal aid, but then I change my mind and decide not to fill out the form, will that affect my cahnces at all? Are they gonna be happy that they don't have to give me any money or are they gonna think I'm irresponsible for not filling it out?</p>
<p>I would say write them a note or an email letting them know. This would be the responsible reaction based upon your decision.</p>
