[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three kids in three different colleges.  One private and two state schools.  All three insisted on FAFSA before they awarded scholarships.  We knew we wouldn't qualify for any kind of financial aid but we had to do it in order for them to receive their academic and athletic scholarships.[/quote]

Is there a downside to filling out the FAFSA? We won't qualify either, but I've been told that you have to file the FAFSA if you want merit scholarships at public and private colleges.

Has FAFSA ever been hacked? Anyone lose any of their financial information? Is it a very secure site?

What other downside can there be to filing the FAFSA? Do colleges get all this personal information about you, or do they get some sort of summary?

Anyone know?

Several people have posted here that they don't like the idea of putting all their financial information on FAFSA. I worry about that too, but DD has to get merit scholarships or DD is not going to go to college.[/quote]
