[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t this the kind of thing that can be explained on FAFSA? If she only has access to your finances and you can’t afford the school, she should qualify for aid. I would personally encourage her to go through the whole process including admissions/aid and see where things end up. Schools are very hard to get into these days, even for ideal candidates. If she doesn’t even get in you would have saved yourself the talk. Source: work in higher Ed elite colleges for over a decade.[/quote] FAFSA doesn’t care about what the adults you live with “want” to pay (in her stepdads case, zero) it assesses the families ability to pay. OPs daughter and the daughter of a woman in OPs prior circumstances are being assessed against one another and the need based aid goes to the young woman whose mother actually has no assets, not the one whose mother remarried a wealthy man who doesn’t want to pay for his stepdaughters college.
