So my friend told me he got around 10k from FAFSA.

He lives with his single mom, she's a nurse. She makes just as much as my dad.

Meanwhile I got nothing from them. I have two younger siblings. My parents are separated and my mom isn't even working. We all depend on my dad.

Just what sense does this make? Is it the fact that his mom is single?

I'm more confused than angry. Just wtf???

It was probably all loans. You should qualify for those loans too. And yes, being a single parent helps.

Sounds like your gripe should be leveled at your parents, not your friend or the government.

I did get some loans but I didn't get a pell grant. The college my crazy mom sent me to is going to cost around 24k a year.

I'm going to be a wage slave for the rest of my life aren't I?

You are the one who has to sign the loan paperwork. Do not sign it. Go to a different school.

You are definitely fucking up somewhere along the chain.

One child plus one parent has a higher EFC than two parents plus 3 kids.

Throw some roundabout numbers of average salary between these two parents and what state you're in so I can check.

Are you seriously getting zero Pell? Something's definitely wrong. What's your EFC?

Fuck that. Don't let your mom send you to a school that's going to put you in that much debt. Put your foot down and refuse.

It's confusing.

My wife and I just recently decided to go back to school. We both filled out the FAFSA. Used our joint tax return so everything but our names, birthdays, etc was identical. All the actual financial crap.

Sent it to the local community college, got our letters with what they could offer for the next school year:

Me: $3500 loan, $750 grant
Her: $3500 loan

Da fuck?
