Why does FAFSA consider how much your parent makes and factor that in for how much money you will be awarded, even if you will be paying for college on your own. I lost most of my scholarships and grants because my father made more money this year, but he isn't helping pay for my schooling, so I ended up losing money due to circumstances beyond my control. ?
I have always wondered why FAFSA counted for parents' income for kids who are paying for schooling alone. I understand if the parent is paying for it, but as a college student without a steady yearly income, it is very hard to manage.
