My parents make decent money (about 30k before taxes) but we pay 517.00$ USD in child support so that really leaves us with nothing at each month. There is no way I could dish out 100$ USD for books or something and I just hope the government sees that.

Anyways, my boyfriend's sister gets aid from the government and her school because her mom hardly makes any money (about 10k a year before taxes) and they sent money left over from college to her house (which she spent on clothes and stupid stuff).

I am just curious on how much I will get to help pay for college or if they'd send any to my home.

I would like to know what you all get from FAFSA and if you get to see any of it. Thank you :)

You can't even fill out the FAFSA until January, though, so no point worrying now :P

If you are not under the poverty line, don't expect any give-outs from the government.

An interjection starts a sentence right.

Good luck finding books for $100. For just this coming semester it's $1000 using things like half.com. Had I bought from the bookstore, it would have been $1450. That's for 5 classes, on top of the $46000 a year tuition, room and board, and plane fare.
