I wasnt exactly sure where to put this, but I've heard that if you get married in college, and you are both full time, you get more grants and financial aide and all of that.

Anyone know if its actually true? I tried googling it, but I didnt really find anything.

marriage is meant to be sacred between man and woman, don't be a whore.

College is more focused on polygamy than money. Who needs extra financial aid when the only thing cheaper than the beer is the wymin.

Moving to School.

And in the future, don't put: DO NOT CLOSE in the title. That's a quick way to get a thread closed.

I didnt exactly know what else to do, they keep closing my threads instead of moving them, and they never explain why.

Why wouldn't you know where to put this? Don't people know there is a forum dedicated to school and education topics?

What you're talking about is that if you get married, you become "independent" according to how the US govt sees it, so when you are filling out the FAFSA, you would only have to put down you and your spouse's income and bank account balances, etc, and not mention your parents' at all. So since you probably make way less than your parents, then yeah, you'd be eligible for more financial aid.

Basically if you can answer yes to any of those questions (being married is one of them), you are considered independent, whether or not your parents help you with your education costs.

Ah, thank you.

I technically knew where to put it, but I was worried about lack of response

We may not get much traffic here, but I know for a fact that me and a few others check this forum on a daily basis. It's pretty much all about question-answer threads.
