elfroots420:insanity-and-co:weavemama:weavemama:FAFSA is so fucking greedy and inconsiderate of students who just want to get an affordable educationlmao @ people dragging FAFSA for their bullshit qualifications: I fucking hate FAFSA and took a lot longer to finish my prereqs because of them. My last quarter was ONE CREDIT under full time…still three classes but the last three classes I needed for my program weren’t all the normal five credits.That drop in credits dropped my financial aid from 1,400…to 400…. that didn’t even cover the classes, let alone supplies and books one of which was 250. I couldn’t take those three classes, I had to take them ONE BY FUCKING ONE and missed out on applying for my program last year.I called to ask why dropping one credit dropped my aid by over two thirds and was told they gauged my classes by my status as full-time or part-time, and suggested filing for a SECOND program I didn’t intend on applying for and taking a FOURTH class to get my full-time schedule back…all of that on top of my FULL-TIME job because they didn’t think that credits made more sense to judge a student’s workload than their status.Because of FAFSA I had to wait an extra year before I could apply for my program.“not living with parents and not having them claim you on their taxes doesnt make you an independent student” then what the fuck does, fafsa because that sounds pretty independent to me -- source link
