FAFSA and Health Professions Student Loan

[Cassiya]

So I know now that you need your parent's tax information for the Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL), but I did not include the information on my first submission. Would I still be eligible if I corrected my FAFSA with my parent's information?

I did not include it in the first place because my mother was unemployed all of 2012 with her unemployment beginning in late 2011, so I could not use her tax information provided in the 2011 FAFSA as an estimate for this year's FAFSA and I thought it would be okay to correct the FAFSA later once I knew what to put.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, correct your FAFSA asap. Just to be sure, contact the financial aid department of your school and advise them you have submitted a correction so as to be eligible for the HPSL. Good Luck!

I see that the OP is a pharm student. Are Osteopathic Med students eligible for HPSL?

check with ur school to see if they offer it. U shud be eligible as long as ur considered a 'high needs student'...if ur not, then ull prolly get more Grad PLUS loans

No, only dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, podiatry, and veterinary medicine. And the school has to participate.
