Are there any special circumstances that impede you from getting that information?
Not really.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
Just curious on what to do or what to recommend others to do in case I'm confused with some of the questions and circumstances. Like, what to do if the parent doesn't live in the U.S?
Ok, well, in case your parents live abroad you can select "Foreign Country" from the dropdown box for the question that asks about the parent's state of legal residence.
There is something else about Direct Subsidized Loans. hi
In that case. You just need to fill the fafsa form, and get in contact with financial aid office at the college, and they will tell you what to do next.
Going back to my question about what to do if I cannot get the information from the parents, what would you recommend in this regard?
When you fill the FAFSA form online or in the app, there is an option to indicate that you have special circumstances that make you unable to get your parent information. If you use this option you'll be able to submit the FAFSA form without the parent information.
I see. It also tries as much as possible to obtain these data. Are loan interest rates fixed for the life of the loan?
Some are. You can find out how interest is calculated on the website.
So is the option of not putting the parents' data available online and also through the application?
Yes, that's correct. Whether you fill your form online or through the app you'll get asked if you are able to provide information about your parents.
Would that create any disadvantage? to submit the form without the parent information?
