<p>if i am considered an independent on my fafsa form does that mean i will get alot of money for college?</p>
<p>Depends on your income, assets, and the school’s FA policy. </p>
<p>And by what you mean by “a lot”. Federal financial aid is very limited. The maximum Pell grant (the main federal grant) is $5550. That requires a 0 EFC. Other federal aid is mainly loans, and possibly some work study.</p>
