@cshell2 @kelsmom sorry everyone for not responding, I have been trying to avoid this question and I haven’t brought up with my family because I’m feeling way too stressed and I have ap tests coming up next week so I have really been trying to forget about it right now until after I’m done with my exams. My family’s adjusted gross income is around $50,000 and my dad’s wages, salaries, etc is $37,000 on our 2018 tax return. My mom doesn’t work anymore. I know it is a federal offense to lie on the fafsa, and I promise I will always be honest even if that means getting less financial aid or none at all. However, my parents and both my siblings have all told me to put $7000 as my parent’s assets and then $0 for everything else. Thanks, everyone for replying, my family is still not understanding this. I think I will try have to sit down with the family friend who loaned my parents money because I think he will actually listen to me. He’ll probably even be able to change my family’s mind because it feels like to me my say doesn’t matter at all and they need to hear it from someone they trust. I will be attending UC Berkeley this fall which is a real honor, and since it is a public school and I live in cali the cost of attendance is lower than most other colleges. However, it is still really high without any financial aid. Does anyone know if not verifying my fafsa will automatically deny my chances for cal grant (if you any of you guys know what that is) or any scholarships? I honestly hate my family right now. Stay safe everyone.
