finance questions
Guys, I am clueless about the FAFSA and other funding. Some questions:
-I've learned the FAFSA is in fact fairly short if you do it online. But by comparing the online form to the PDF version, I've found the questions are different. The PDF seems to mandate that I answer questions about my parents, while the online form gave me the option not to (which I took, since I'm a bazillion times poorer than them and I'm no longer their dependent)--can anyone make sense of this?
-My mom stumbled across the College Board's scholarship search online and asked me if I planned to fill out a profile on it. It looks like it costs money to do so and I haven't heard of anyone using this site since I was applying to college six years ago. If I'm applying to MA and PhD programs in the humanities, should I be further investigating this?
Thanks, all. Your help is always incredible.
