Will the FAFSA affect an academic scholarship at a school? My income level is not that high so will the FAFSA effect the other scholarships i could get?
I am asking this since i would like to see if i could get good scholarship money at the smaller schools, which i think im in good position to get. I understand that scholarships such as Presidential and University only take into account academic standing, so does this mean that the amount of FAFSA i get will not affect my chance of getting the academic scholarship?

Lastly, when you apply for college, do you send FAFSA along with your initial application, or do you apply for financial aid after you get your acceptance letter(and do academic scholarships come with the acceptance letter)?

Thanks!
