[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. 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] We filled out a FAFSA, and DC applied to several expensive colleges - around $80K/year. Our HHI is about $300K. We got zilch. EFC was like $120K per year. Good luck.[/quote] Our HHI is about $225 and we also got zilch. But this was expected, sadly, so no one with $300K should be surprised by that result, especially since that HHI easily puts you in the top 10 percent nationally of earners. [/quote]
