[nabs-l] Financial aid and SSI

[Sarah Meyer]

Hi Vejas,

In addition to the other responses you've received, I would add that
it is never a bad idea to apply through the FAFSA because even if you
don't intend to take out loans or do work study, you will be able to
see what your options are.  Also, my VR requires me to complete the
FAFSA.  Now that I am in grad school and I am not a dependent of
someone else, my FAFSA is based off of my own income rather than that
of parents.

Best,

Sarah
