We are not seeking financial aid nor do we have a need to fill out the FAFSA . We checked the estimators and wouldn’t receive any. No judgement please. We are in a fortunate position. My child is about to submit the common app. I dont have the app in front of me but there is a line that says something like “do you plan on applying for financial aid?” So we wrote, “no.” But my question is when we write, “no,” is that is all we have to do? I dont have to sign and decline FAFSA? Presumably one who says they are seeking financial aid would they have additional drop down questions, redirects and forms? This may sound stupid but i want to make sure it is that easy to just answer no and close that chapter.
