<p>I’ve got a quick question. My first semester in college I was given $300 from FAFSA. (I had a good amount of cash in my savings that I no longer have) I expect to get a lot more this year as I just got married and we really don’t have a lot of cash on hand. I pay about $1550 tuition per semester and about $350 insurance per semester. Can FAFSA cover insurance costs at all or does FAFSA always give you less then your total tuition? Thanks</p>
<p>FAFSA doesn’t give you anything. The colleges and universities distribute the loans and grants based on your prior year’s finances. FAFSA is a govenment document and the college or colleges that you list have access to your information to determine what aid you are qualified for. You need to fill out FAFSA each year. Here’s a good link to “read up”: [FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid](<a href=“http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/]FAFSA”>http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/)</p>
