FAFSA

[BelknapPoint]

So, the money that I have left over from my financial aid will be sent to my father’s bank account since I don’t have one yet. And there is a question on the FAFSA form that asks for “student‘s total of cash, savings, and checkings account”. Since the money I had left over from the financial aid money was sent to an account under my father’s name, can I put $0 for “student’s total of cash, savings, and checkings account” for when I fill out the FAFSA for this year?

If the money is from financial aid, as you have indicated, it’s not reported on FAFSA no matter where it is. If it wasn’t financial aid but it was your money, it would be reported on FAFSA even if it was sitting in someone else’s bank account.
