We have helped her pay for school once and don’t have the money to do so again. I don’t understand why she can’t get help on her own. On fafsa in parents info it asks number in household who have received over half of suppose for year and how many will attend college, not sure how to answer because I don’t support her. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?



Her providing your information on the FAFSA only determines if she is eligible for federal aid. It does not in any way obligate you to pay for round 2 of college. Your discussion with her needs to be, that she is not considered an independent student. While you will submit your income and assets in order for her to apply for financial aid, you will not be paying in the event that she does not receive financial aid or has the money to put herself through school.
