[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 510249"] I know AG - the inconsistencies in the law make me NUTS. Just filled out the FAFSA (federal student aid form) for PC17 - because he is being considered for a scholarship & it requires a FAFSA be on file even though it isn't a need based scholarship. Anyway - it asks for such detailed, practically intimate financial information FROM THE PARENTS and it's required even if the student is 100% self supporting with very few exceptions until the "child" is 25!! (exceptions are being married, having dependents, being formally emancipated by the courts or well documented cases of child abuse) Now, I was happy to do it for easy child and we were not planning to use financial add. Nonetheless, I just about choked when I saw our "expected financial contribution" to our easy child's education. Makes me wonder HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT can "EXPECT" the parents to contribute huge sums yet at the same time THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT gives these same parents absolutely NO RIGHTS to access ANY SCHOLASTIC INFORMATION ABOUT these same kids/adults??? So until he's 25, I am expected to contribute to his education, at age 27 he is a dependent for health insurance purposes but at age 18 (or 19 for you) I have absolutely no rights as far as he is concerned...TOTALLY CONTRADICTORY [/QUOTE]
