<p>If your parents’ income qualifies you for aid, then you can get aid. however, if your parents’ income is high enough that you won’t qualify, then you won’t.</p>
<p>Refusing to pay is not a reason to get aid…otherwise all parents would refuse.</p>
<p>Imdad…your dad may have put $15k as his income on your free lunch apps (which aren’t verified), but when you submit FAFSA and CSS Profile, then his much higher income/assets will come out (value of rentals, income from rentals) and CSS profile may disqualify some of those deductions.</p>
