[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are both gs14 fed employee with combined income around $300k pretax. This is quite common for middle class in dc area. We’re told not to bother filling up FAFSA or any financial aid since we won’t be qualified for anything so we won’t apply. Is it true for anyone in our situation? Now, if kid gets into a private college with annual expenses 70k+, how middle class manages to pay for it without any aids or scholarships? [/quote] Each college has a Net Price Calculator on its financial aid website. Use that to get a need-based aid estimate. If all the calculators you try tell you that you are paying full sticker price, and are nowhere close to getting aid, then you don't need to bother with FAFSA and CSS Profile.[/quote]
