For financial aid, does your family have to make low income?

Question

I had a talk with my counsler today about college and she talked about grants and scholarships, I told her I have gone through those but haven't heard anything so she brought up financial aid, not having to pay off money for college, so I looked at FASFA and it ended up asking for my parents social security numbers (no way in hell they would give those up for the internet) so i thought well im ****** on that part to, plus I dont know much about financial aid, Im not going to say how much but my dad makes a really good amount of money and just the words financial aid sounds like something for people with low income.

If you think that your dad makes a good amount of money, I'd say that you won't qualify for most financial aid.  If you complete the FAFSA, you can get a non-subsidized federal loan even if your family is not low income.

However; the limit for a freshman is $5500.

BTW, you can do a paper FAFSA application.  It's much easier to do on the internet, but not your only option.
