hi everyone, i really confused because i got a very little of financial aid compare to my friends. i received total $5,500 for a year and the tuition for my school is about $15k per year. it's mean that i have to pay the rest by my own @_@. does the parent's income affect the amount of money financial aid give me or something like that? what's determine the amount of money that FASFA can give me? i really need help from someone professional on these stuff. thank you very much
