Selective Service

Paying for College
1

<p>Okay i need a little help with this. I remember reading that it's the law to register for the selective service if I'm above 18. I turned 18 recently. I also read somewhere (can't remember where) that I may be ineligible for federal grants and other financial aid if i haven't registered for the Selective Service. Is it true? any help with this process? especially from people who have entered college with financial aid when they were 18..</p>

<p>yes, you must register for selective service in order to receive federal aid.</p>

<p>If you are not registered, you can click the box when you are filing to fafsa to get registered.</p>

<p>A simple Google search is all you needed to do. [Selective</a> Service System: Welcome](<a href=“http://www.sss.gov%5DSelective”>http://www.sss.gov)</p>

<p>You have to register it is the law. If you don’t you can get Federal financial aid, a gov’t job, gov’t training, etc. There is a $250,000 fine for not registering. You can register online at the address above.</p>

<p>In order to submit a FAFSA and be eligible for federal student aid, (I think only if you are male) you must register with the selective service.</p>
