<p>10 4, just didn’t have my thinking cap on.</p>
<p>And again I say…it just floors me that students (or parents) would think its OK to falsify information on these financial aid application forms. </p>
<p>Papyrus, if you don’t want to answer the questions OR you want to falsify the information, my suggestion would be to NOT bother applying to those colleges for admission OR financial aid. Honesty is highly valued by colleges…and dishonesty is not. Perhaps you can find an affordable option in your own country where you won’t have to answer these questions.</p>
<p>As a parent who donates annually to a bunch of colleges as an alum, I would NOT want to see a person with your ethics get a nickel of money from the colleges.</p>
<p>You do not have to answer the questions, you also do not have to apply for financial aid. Financial aid applications are invasive - more that you would want to tell your own mother about your financial situation. It is their money, they need to know why you need it - and the answer is not because I want it.</p>
