What makes a person ineligible to receive FAFSA monies?
It is a common misconception that someone can be “ineligible” for financial aid because they make too much money. Everyone qualifies for unsubsidized federal loans, regardless of income. People who do not qualify for federal aid include those without a high school diploma or GED, who are not U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens, do not have a SSN, are not registered with the Selective Service (and are male), are not enrolled in an eligible program, or who are in default on a federal loan. Please visit the Department of Education’s Student Aid on the Web for more information.
