<p>I you are not yet 18, you are not required to have registered to receive financial aid.</p>
<p>However, once you turn 18, you will have to register in order to CONTINUE to receive FEDERAL financial aid.</p>
<p>BTW: I think the question now is “Register me”, rather than “have you registered”. Check the box. If you get an error message (you are too young), then uncheck the box.</p>
