<p>Geneva requires the FAFSA, and not the Profile when applying for financial aid:</p>

<p>So they should be using the Federal Methodology, and the value of your home shouldn't hurt you.</p>

<p>But you can call the financial aid office and verify that before you get too far down the road.</p>

<p>Generally, the only ones that will count home equity are the ones who require the Profile. Some of them cap the value it so it doesn't factor in as much, though.</p>
