[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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. [/b]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] Who told you that? You won’t get any need-based aid, but some schools use it to look at what merit aid they will grant.[/quote] As numerous posts have indicated, that is true only for very few schools. Typically the merit will be awarded pending receipt of FAFSA. In other words, they'll tell you if you need to submit FAFSA.[/quote]
