My spouse is entering a 15-month accelerated nursing program in fall 2019 and we will also have 2 kids in college at that time. It appears that the FAFSA does not take into account college expense for a parent and we were also told via a phone call to a State school’s financial office that no consideration will be given to that $30k educational expense. Will this be true for all colleges - public and private? We have also submitted a FAFSA for my spouse. Any advice would be appreciated.
