<p>I have listed that I have no assetts, no investments, and a very low savings in my CSS Profile... It is true, but does this hurt me or help me as far as getting aid?</p>
<p>It will bring down what the school expects your contribution to be. What about your parents assets, savings, etc?</p>
<p>You need to find the least expensive college option you can find wither through merit and financial aid or simply cost. No assets, no savings, no investments means that what comes in for income is going out weekly…people live like this no doubt, but there is no additional income for college…</p>
<p>Collegekid…Many, if not most college students have low investments, low savings and no IRA. That is VERY common for students. As noted above…what about your PARENTS? Their assets also need to be listed on the Profile.</p>
