If I am considered dependent, and I use my parents information on my FAFSA, once I graduate and if I can't make payments, would they go after my parents for the money? I am under 24 years old, and not married, so if I don't supply parental information it says this
"You have told us that you are unable to provide parental information. Review the following to continue.
We will allow you to submit your FAFSA without parental information, however your FAFSA will not be considered complete.
Because your FAFSA is not considered complete, we will not calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) which is the index used by colleges to determine how much student aid you are eligible to receive.
If you are approaching any deadlines for your state, college, or scholarship aid, you may want to contact your financial aid administrator before submitting your FAFSA without parental data.
Once you submit your FAFSA without parental data, you must follow up with the financial aid administrator at the college you plan to attend, in order to complete your FAFSA and receive an EFC. Also, note the following:
Under Federal law, only your financial aid administrator has the authority to decide whether or not you must provide parental information on your FAFSA.
You will have to provide documentation to verify your situation. Generally, you must submit a written statement from your parents stating that they refuse to complete the FAFSA and that they do not and will not provide you with any financial support.
After reviewing your circumstances carefully, your financial aid administrator will decide if you must provide parental information or if your circumstances allow you to proceed without providing parental data. Your financial aid administrator's decision is final and can not be appealed to Federal Student Aid."
Which doesn't sound very promising. so I really need to know if they would try getting the money from my parents if for some reason I was unable to pay or something.
