<p>Ok so my sister is attending Johns Hopkins and on her assets she put she owned a then new Ford Focus. Well as I apply to colleges next year and fill out FASFA, should I put that I own a '03 Ford F-150. My dad and I are in a huge debate over this, he thinks I should and I think I shouldn't, because legally it's not mine. What do you all think.</p>
<p>No, the FAFSA specifically does not ask about cars, boats, planes, jewelry, retirement accounts, and the family home. If you read each question carefully you will see they want cash and investments like money markets, stocks, bonds...no where do they ask about cars.</p>
<p>somemom is right -- FAFSA does not ask for this info. I did have the question come up when filling out the CSS Profile though. Only one of the schools I applied to asked for this info, and supposedly it is only be made available to the school that requested it. If I remember correctly it only asked what type of car the applicant had, and how much $, if any, was owed on it.</p>
<p>I have also had both public and private schools ask for detials beyond the FAFSA. When doing your FAFSA only answer the questions they ask. Some schools will ask more detail and you can answer them.</p>
<p>Hopkins may well ask for that info. They scrutinize their financial info sheet before making an financial aid awards.</p>
<p>PS: You said the truck is legally not yours, if that means it is registered in your dad's name, then it is his asset. if oyu mean you owe the bank for it, so it's not toally yours yet, but it is in your name, then it would be yours- on a school form</p>
