How do I fill out the Gross adjusted income on the Fafsa?
I’m helping out my husband filling out his Fafsa application. We were married in June. Do I have to
include my gross adjusted income into his income for 2011 when we weren’t married then?
Michelle answers:
If you are married now & filling out FAFSA, then you must include your income with his income.. Even though you weren’t married in 2011

How will my sibling FAFSA history affect my financial aid elegibility?
If my brother owes money to FAFSA, will it affect me when I apply? He is already 29, I’m 19.
Michelle answers:
Not at all. Each individual has their own financial aid record. Each year you will fill out the FAFSA and based on that the the rules of financial aid you will get the aid you qualify for. You will need to keep up your grades, keep up the required amount of credits and all the other rules that apply to continuing to receive federal aid.
Robert asks…
When is it okay to withdraw from a class and not affect my fafsa?
If I withdraw from my class 2-3 days before the deadline to withdraw would that affect my fafsa. My fafsa already messed up with my probation(very low gpa) and I can’t return the money I gained from fafsa. I’m just going to withdraw that one class, I have 3 other classes that I will still be taking. Would they still charge me for withdrawing even though I tried to take the class completely?
Michelle answers:
Yes, My advice drop the class on the last day to drop to reduce the percentage.
“Students that receive all W’s and/OR F’s in their spring 2010 classes will owe a percentage of their pell back to the federal government. Providing proof will of last day attendance in classes (from your instructor) may decrease or eliminate what you owe.”
– FAFSA
Depends of how many classes your taking and attendance. For example, you are taking four classes and one of them you are 0% absent from that class. You drop the class. The schools gives your grades to the Feds. Feds will send you a letter saying that you owe 25% percent of the pell grant and must pay it 6 months from the date of letter issued.
Carol asks…
what if i have bachelor degree and plan on going back to school with a fafsa of 693?
I am planning on going back to school so a applied for fafsa and i have a efc score of 693 but i have a bachelors degree from another country, how will this affect my eligibility for pell grant?
Michelle answers:
FAFSA is the free application for federal student aid.
The EFC is the expected family contribution, in US dollars.
Your eligibility for Pell is very good as far as income is concerned. If you are a US citizen, you are good to proceed. Apply to the school for financial aid.
