<p>Glad to hear Simplelife that you have had success with FAFSA required scholarships. We had the opposite reaction, even though the scholarship was not a ‘need based’ designation we were told FAFSA numbers were used to determine if you would be considered -and quoted that ours were too high by the representative. I guess it just depends on what scholarship committees decide to use as criteria. Happy to hear as a non-qualifier that there is still hope for FAFSA required scholarships. The rep I talked to certainly implied ‘FAFSA required’ was code for need & we should have known we wouldn’t be considered.</p>
