-- Posted by evn at 8:00 am on June 24, 2007 Do you know how much financial aid I will get if my mom made about $55,000 in 2006? I Live in New york State and Im going to a community College...thanks -- Posted by Heart92 at 8:02 am on June 24, 2007 What kind of college are you attending? -- Posted by JennyColada at 8:05 am on June 24, 2007 My guess would be none. Unless your mom is struggling financially, the financial aid people assume you have no need. Try applying for non-need-based scholarships though. -- Posted by bridgette07 at 8:19 am on June 24, 2007 is it as real expensive college to attend -- Posted by JennyColada at 8:23 am on June 24, 2007 It's community college, so I'm going to guess that it isn't really expensive. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 11:30 pm on June 24, 2007 The best way to find out is to walk into the financial aid office and ask them.  Sometimes they can tell you right away, with some options to do, or they can figure it out for you by filling out a form.
