Recent job loss and filing for FAFSA

Paying for College
1

<p>Hello everyone, I have a question and would appreciate your help.</p>

<p>I was accepted into my school of choice yesterday, and now need to figure out how to finance the next 2+ years. I was making decent money up until last month when I lost my job. My field is not hiring and I do not foresee imminent employment, or compensation anywhere near what I was receiving. My FAFSA application should be submitted within the next few days.</p>

<p>So my question is this: will my earnings from 2008 hold me back from receiving the loans needed to pay for school? If so, is there anything I can do? What other options do I have for financing? I'm most definitely worried.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. You still have to fill out your FAFSA , but you should contact your school's financial aide office and tell them of your circumstances and ask them how they would like you to proceed</p>
