The school that I would like to attend next year wants me to give them the following info:
FAFSA (with parent's info)
Needs Access online form (with parent's info)
Copy of my 2008 tax return
Copy of my parent's 2008 tax return
The deadline for this info is April 16th.
But, my parents never file their taxes on time, because they are self-employed. I have told them that I really need them to at least compile the information so I can send a copy of the return before April. I have contacted the school, and they are not very flexible with this.
My question is what if I can't get my parents to do this and can't get need based aid? Which loans are need based?
My assumption is that I would still be able to get loans to pay for school, but they would be higher interest rates and would be unsubsidized. Is that correct?
Thanks for any info.
