My family is upper middle class, owns a home, and makes over $40,000 a year. Can I still get financial aid for college?
Yes you can. Financial aid comes from several sources the federal government, the school itself, and scholarships from individual businesses or organizations. If your family is not eligible for need-based money, you will need to work on the other avenues for assistance. In addition, there are several ways to restructure family assets so they are not considered when family finances are being examined by the funding bodies.
