[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much are students vs parents expected to contribute? FWIW my parents paid $0. My wealthy father wasn’t factored into financial aid bc he contributed nothing to college or much else for that matter except my step mom and step kids. Mom took out a small loan which I paid back within 2 years of graduating. All the rest was me (loans, work study and summer jobs), scholarships and a little financial aid. I know times are different but there must still be a line item on financial aid that separates parent versus student financial contributions.[/quote] It depends on the relative income and wealth for parents vs student. The colleges assess them independently. The situation with your father would be close to impossible now, unless 1) the college doesn't consider the non-custodial parent (not all do) or 2) you can prove that he basically disappeared and it is impossible or very dangerous for you to locate him.[/quote]
