Financial aid is disbursed to the college, not to the individual and you cannot accumulate money. You can apply for fafsa, but if you don't enroll in school, no money will be disbursed. If you do enroll in school and then withdraw, the money will be sent back.

lol no,no,no,no , you can't do that you Financial Aid money is based on how many hours you're going to be taking. you CAN get the money, but they'll know that you didn't use it towards college. it's going to be a problem for you in the future, when you reapply.

no MOST colleges that I know of say that you need to be going to college within the next year.

Example - I am a senior in highscholl I will be going to college next year so I can start applying for financial aid

Of course not. You have to be actively enrolled for the school's academic year, you will not be eligible for any type of aid until you are.
