ok long story short, so im on college and we've planning to get married soon, we're wanting to get married over spring break next month but im not sure how it will affect my financial aid for the remainder of college. the financial aid office said it shouldnt affect me negatively, because together we only made 18000 for 2010 so my question is roughly how will my financial aid be affected...
here are some numbers if any one knows how to kinda figure this....
without a parent plus loan each month i will get starting april.... $334
if my mom is denied the parent plus loan..... i will get about $780 a month (but she will be approved again, she already was once)
when i started school, and my mom was originally denied, i made $11000 in 09 by myself and got.... $800 a month
together in 2010 we made together.... $18000
so does anyone know roughly what im looking at here???
i have to make a decision by thursday so we can pull this together and file my FAFSA
We're not married yet, and we've already filed our taxes seperaely, but from what ive been told it could only help me so we figure why not... My FAFSA isnt due until May 1, so i need to do this before April 1st. im just concerned that even though this may not affect me in a negative way im not sure if it will give me enough money each month to pay our rent.
