15 Comments	Part 2: Answers on the Fafsa, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
We’ve started filling out the Fafsa form and noticed that unlike the C.S.S./Financial Aid profile, Fafsa asks for information on only a single household. I have divorced my son’s father and remarried. Nowhere on this form does it ask for the second parent’s information. My husband is not responsible for half of my son’s college education; my ex is. Does this get factored in at all? The resulting picture of filling out the form as it currently allows makes the view of our financial picture much rosier than it really is. How does the financial responsibility get properly allocated on the Fafsa form? Or does it? Assuming the form is immutable, for schools that do not accept the C.S.S. profile, is it advisable to send a letter to the financial aid officer explaining the situation? – Sabrina Read more…

How can we find a list of colleges that consider biological parents’ assets but not “married in” assets? And what about families in which a high-income parent took off, remarried, and does not have custody. How do they find colleges that consider custody rather than biology? – Emily Read more…
1 Comment	Part 4: Answers to Your Questions on Scholarships and Student Loans
I planned to encourage my senior to apply for a number of local scholarships. But I have read that many financial aid offices simply subtract any such winnings from any grant money they might otherwise give the student. Is this often the case? If so, it seems that the scholarship benefits the school, not the student. – *m* Read more…

We seem to be in a bit of a sweet spot when it comes to paying for college. We have two children who will be in college within three years. We have saved enough to foot the large $40,000/year bill for one of the kids, but that will wipe us out of our college savings. What strategy do you recommend? – Amy
