My brothers son went to a reputable university for criminal law enforcement. He received very good grades. His son maxed out any financial aid he could get in addition to my brother being in debt over $100,000 for that education. When his son got out he could not find a job in his field and so he got a job selling Solar panels.
This is the future of the youth. And the government is making sure of it.
That you will obey.
Bingo!
It's not unheard of for parents to refuse to fill out those things. Privacy issues and no desire to get involved with the process of paying for a child's college education are two reasons.
Could this lead to parents being forced to pay all the gov determines they can afford for a child's education? Is the vision of "free college for all" one that includes parents paying according to their means to do so? Will it be fraud if they don't fill the forms out truthfully? Will a child be deprived of a HS diploma if the parents or guardians don't fill it out?
Have I forgotten anything?
I hope many kids & parents refuse. Let them deny them diplomas, then file a class action suit. Get those fools on the school board tossed, and get these idiots (former school board members, superintendents, etc) to pay for their kids’ education via the settlement.
While taking a timed test in high school in 1971 I was called to the office. When I got there I was “accused” of not filling in a line on a form. The line was the amount of income my parents made. I said, “My father said to tell you that it was none of your business. We aren’t requesting financial aid.” The lady shoved the form at me and demanded that I fill it out. I said, “I have no idea. No.” Another clerk in the office said, “Well, we can’t return it un-filled-out. Just pick a number.” The woman scribbled in a number and I was dismissed. This was 1971!
This is unconstitutional on its face.
Yep.......and NOBODY is stopping them time after time after time.........again and again over and over.
Horrific.
Clear violation of the 1st Amendment’s freedom of assembly clause.
I have always refused. It is none of their business and we ain’t gettin’ any of Obamao’s stash no how.
Lots students don’t have any interest in going to college (and many that do, shouldn’t). Many who do go to college aren’t interested in Fed-related financial aid. Nobody should have to do anything other than meet the academic requirements in order to graduate.
I don’t think this could stand a court challenge.
If this is true,it sounds absolutely insane,illegal,& just plain absurd. Filling out the form means disclosing info that is no one else’s business & that may be the underlying reason,but sure doesn’t make it right. Glad I am way beyond that at my age.
There cannot be a hell too hot for the members of the Louisiana’s Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, every hell-spawned one of them.
Most people have no clue to the strongholds of anti-Americanism, anti-Christianity that are represented by the fifty state departments of education. No clue at all. Federal control of education versus state control of education is a distinction without a difference.
As I recall, the aid officially goes to the school, not to the student.
So if the school awards the student work-study but does not offer a job then the student is out of luck but there are no negative repercussions for the school.
The school can then legitimately claim that 99% of students who applied for aid were offered aid, even if they were offered a grant they could not claim.
Is it possible to fill out a FAFSA without identifying which school or schools you have applied to?
Could a school then be awarded aid (by the Federal Dept. of Education) for a student that they didn’t admit, who didn’t enroll, and maybe even didn’t apply?
I think not but the oversight on work-study was so poor that I couldn’t say for certain.
Canned tax programs, such as TaxAct (a program I have sworn by for nearly ten years) can print out your FAFSA based on the info you provide in your tax return. No muss, no fuss. It's part of the final review process before printing out your tax return.
TaxAct may not have all the bells, whistles, and videos of TurboTax, but it will handle 99.5% of personal income tax returns, for about $20, a few dollars more if you have to file a state return.
