<p>I come from a low-income family. I'm a junior in hs and I'll be graduating in October so I was going to use the rest the year to get a job and save up for a car. I'll be starting college next fall. Will I get less financial aid if I get a job?</p>
<p>2014-2015 FAFSA will depending on your parents’ income and your income in 2013.
I think if your income is below $6000, you should be ok with FAFSA.</p>
<p>Due to your age, they will be looking at your parents income for 2013</p>
<p>My family’s income won’t be part of my fafsa. I’m considered independent since I was in foster care for a while after I turned 13.</p>
<p>
Income protection allowance for independent student with no dependent: $9330</p>
<p>
Not too many high school students will understand that.</p>
