Should we fill out FAFSA and/or CSS if we are only seeking true merit aid?

Yes, I’ve wondered the same thing @1203southview

I’m going to go ahead and fill it out. First, because I don’t want to have to scramble later if I missed the fact that the school D ultimately decides on requires it; Second, I suppose there is a very outside chance that we might be eligible for a bit, although I really doubt it; Third, it is required for the $5500 loan that any student can take out, regardless of income, and it would be nice to have that cushion if needed.
