[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been told you need it for merit aid (no experience yet, have a senior and filled it out on 10/1). I don't care who has that info, and if it means my kid gets some merit aid, I'm happy to share (our DC will most likely be full pay at a $70k top 10 school). [/quote] The vast majority of schools do not require the FAFSA in order to award merit scholarships. Top ten schools do not award merit aid.[/quote] If you search other posts on this topic you will find that DCUM, in all its wisdom, has identified 2 schools that MAY require FAFSA for one or more of its merit scholarships: Fordham and Villanova. So to fill FAFSA out if you are not applying to one of those colleges (or another school that says it requires it) is a big waste of your time, not to mention you are handing over your most sensitive personal financial information for no good reason.
