No one said they have to go to college, they just have to begin the process of higher learning. Who cares? We had classes in HS where you had to research and apply to schools, not seeing where the sky is falling yet

What FAFSA has approved me for and is actually giving me is $6,800 per semester. If there was a place to opt out of the balance, I didn't see it. After the $2,600 is deducted, the balance goes onto the Visa Debit card that doubles as the Student photo ID and which every student where I go is required to get for precisely this purpose.

Umm.. I didn't ask for it, is the problem. The website takes all the data from the app, looks at the school and program with demographic stuff....from what I gather...then spits out the number between Pell, subsidized and un-subsidized loans.
It's going to be tough to pay back when I am absolutely resolute about finishing my degree program and building the second career that will pay this debt. For someone to ride into the same situation, not having the ability to finish......the debt would be crippling, since there is absolutely no way out of it for life.

You log into your college website, go to your financial aid award, decline the loans and put your reason. Or, you go straight to your financial aid office.
Yeah FASFA won't tell you can opt out. But, it is voluntary.edit on 8-1-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)
