I live in New York State and would like to open a 529 plan for my kids, but I need to know if the value of the plan is going to effect our ability to get financial aid for my kids at college time.

So, My family is poor so my college is paid for by a program in my state. I applied for financial aid. Can I still get financial aid and have my college paid for by the states program. I still need financial aid for books and stuff, so hopefully I can! Thanks!

Future Marine Biologist/Rocker asked:


I would like to apply for financial aid and scholarships, but I don’t really know where to start.

I’m from Morocco and I would like to study Music Production and Music Business in Florida, Massachussetts or California.
I’m a highschool student. I just want to know exactly what I’m gonna expect I’m done with school because I’m kind of independent and I’m trying to figure out a way to go to college

Billy B asked:


Lets say, your father makes 0 dollars per year and he contributes 0 to your college tuition. Is it true some people get their full tuition covered, even at a prestigious college, from financial aid if that is the case?

luvikavi asked:


I am interested in apply for financial aid as in independent status, however, I’m trying to decide whether to stay at the school where I am at or transfer down to be closer to my family. Do I need to apply at each school, or can I apply at the school I’m at right now, and will I still be an independent when I do decide to transfer?

Hailey B asked:


Is it based on how much the school tution, your age, your income, and the school? I don’t live with my parents, I am in my late 20s possibly thinking about attending school. I know what FAFSA is, but I just want to know how do they determine how much they will approve for financial aid. Thanks!!

Misty J asked:


Also, would I still be elgible for student loans right away if not financial aid? Are there special scholarships or programs I can work for to help get money to pay for college? I am planning to get my masters in psychology. Thanks!
