Hi,
I have a few questions about applying for financial aid; I am filling out fafsa and need access and they ask for how much money I have in the bank; is this the right time to go out and buy a car or that expensive stereo system Ive been eyeing so that it seems like I dont have as much $ in the bank.
I think what my real question is, is how does the school determine financial aid? Where i plan on attending, they say roughly the total amount - amount parents/students can contribute = aide. How do they figure out the amount that the parents/student can contribute?
