Financial Aid?

The school to which he applies can do a "professional judgment". As long as his intent was not to avoid the draft and he didn't register because he was not aware he was suppose to the school should and can make an exception.

If he is beyond the age of registration he must get a letter from Selective Service. He can download the application to get the letter from: http://www.sss.gov/instructions.html

He will need to take this letter with him to any school for which he applies for financial aid. He will need this letter every time he applies, so he should keep the original and only provide a copy to the school.

A note to all males: Even though the draft is not active you still must register. If you knowingly don't register you will be and can be denied financial aid.

The most common symptoms are:

fever (raised temperature)

sore throat

body rash

Other symptoms can include:

tiredness

joint pain

muscle pain

swollen glands (nodes)

The symptoms, which can last up to four weeks, are a sign that your immune system is putting up a fight against the virus.

If he is under 26 then he just needs to register for Selective Service (the draft) to get the financial aid.

If he is over 25 then it shouldn't matter for his financial aid and I would speak to someone else in the financial aid department.

REGISTER ON-LINE

Young men may now register on-line with Selective Service.

AT THE POST OFFICE

Selective Service "mail-back" registration forms are available at any Post Office. A man can fill it out, sign it, affix postage, and mail it to Selective Service, without the involvement of the postal clerk. Men living overseas may register at any U.S. Embassy or consular office.

BY MAIL

A young man may also register by filling out a Reminder Mailback Card. Selective Service sends this card to many young men around the time they turn 18. Mailback cards are also available at some post offices. A man can fill out the card at home and mail it directly to Selective Service. Forms will be sent to: Selective Service System, Registration Information Office, P.O. Box 94638, Palatine, IL 60094-4638.

CHECK BOX

Another way a young man can register is to check a box on the application form for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA form). A man can check "Yes" on Box #29 of that form, and the Department of Education will furnish Selective Service with the information to register the man.

AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL

More than half the high schools in the Nation have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective Service Registrar. These individuals help register male high school students.

Sure. If they've done the work, put in the effort, are academically qualified and are residents of the state then they should get the education they've earned. Their parents pay the sales and property taxes that pay for the ed systems. These kids you're asking about were brought here as infants and children and, for all intents and purposes, are "from here". Why not label someone brought to California from Minnesota when they were an infant a non-resident, too? As a member of a long-time CA family, I wouldn't mind seeing all the out-of-staters treated like the foreign colonists they are. We had a nice state until it filled up with Mid-Westerners and Southerners. What's not fair is letting an all-American slacker who spends more time demanding what's due him that he hasn't earned than reading get the financial aid that should be given according to academic merit.

If he filled out the FAFSA there should have been a place for him to register for selective service inside the form.

I haven't gone through the 08-09 FAFSA yet, but the 07-08 FAFSA has 2 questions: are you male?, are you between 18-25 and not signed up for selective service........or something to that effect. If your husband is between 18-25 and answers that question properly he is automatically registered with selective service.

I think there is missing information in your question and I'd be happy to discuss the situation with you.

sign up for it, doesnt make sense really because they should have automatically signed him up for it when processing his application. by the way there is a box to mark off on the application that asks if you are registered for selective service. talk to financial aid services about it, i believe they have forms at the post office for that, or try and get a phone number to call.

When he turned 18, he was supposed to sign his soul away. It should have been on the same form from when he registered to vote.

There hasn't been a draft in like 30 years.

Well there are tons of private student loan options. Now obviously the rates are much higher for these but you can get them with bad credit.

if you don't sign up you can be fined thousands and even put in prison, every person is suppose to register when they turn 18.
