Is there any point to sending the FAFSA if our student does not need loans or work study? There is the possibility of departmental scholarships but I am afraid that if our financial position is known that it might hurt him in the decision process. One financial advisor suggested that letting the school know that you are well-off could be a plus in terms of admission decisions but I am not sure about merit scholarship decisions.
The departments will not know your FAFSA results. Only the FA office will.
