My parents are divorced. I live with my mother and she recently remarried. My stepfather is not going to pay for any of my college education. Financial aid helps you meet your college expenses. Although your family and you have the primary responsibility to pay these expenses, financial aid helps you meet the costs you cannot pay.
Aid comes from federal, state and local programs.
Complete the application according to the instructions. The California Board of Governors provides funds to pay the mandatory enrollment fee for all eligible California residents. There is no income limit that excludes students from applying for federal aid. Furthermore, most colleges and universities require their students to apply for federal aid and will not consider them for school-based aid unless there is a federal application on file. This is also true of many privately-sponsored programs, even the ones based solely on merit.
