<p>OK…so why do you think your dad’s income will affect financial aid awards at Texas and Mizzou? These are FAFSA only schools, and because you live mostly with your mom, hers is the only financial information that will be given to these colleges.</p>
<p>Are you implying that Texas and Mizzou have merit scholarships that ask for non-custodial parent income on their applications? Please provide the reference to those.</p>
<p>Mizzou will be an out if state university for you, with out of state costs. They do award merit aid to some out of state students, but it is not guaranteed. In terms of need based aid at Mizzou, it is probable that you will get a Direct Loan of $5500 only. Most instate public universities reserve their need based grant awards for their own instate students. But apply and see! You never know.</p>
<p>You are instate for Texas. Seems to me that the costs there would be more favorable. </p>
<p>What scholarships are you looking at that ask for your dad’s income?</p>
