2) Any student whining that it's too hard to fill out shouldn't be qualified for college.
If you’re too stupid to fill out the application maybe college isn’t for you.
Preparing them to fill out their federal tax returns.
Is this supposed to be the new SAT?
The kids are told to fill it out, but it is really the parents that do it. This is one of those “your kids are adults now” crap. With both my girls, the colleges would send the tuition bill to them through some account that they have to set up. Once they actually shared the access to whatever it is, I had to beat the ex to it because she would F*&# it up and I’d spend a couple hours on the phone trying to get it corrected. It would have been much easier to just send me the bill.
What kind of nonsense is this? It is a REQUIREMENT to fill out an application for aid to graduate High School, even if you don’t want it?
Included in the mandatory application is your parents social security numbers and income tax information??
Confident my father would have told me to get a GED because no way that form is getting filled out - and I would absolutely agree. Same thing I would tell any child of mine in that situation.
1. List all your income and assets, including bank accounts, passwords, ATM PINS, mother’s maiden name, SSN, etc.
2. Are you fully vaccinated?
3. Do you agree that Joe Biden legitimately won the election, freely and fairly?
4. Do you support Critical Race Theory and its teaching in all schools, including private and parochial schools?
There. Simplified.
I worked my ass off in college all year around to not have a college loan.
One summer - working at a cannery in Alaska - my longest ‘clocked in’ hours were 121 1/2 hours. We HAD to clock out for 1/2 hour every breakfast, lunch and dinner...(that’s 10 1/2 hours in a week).
Take 168 hours (24 x 7) minus 121 1/2 and minus 10 1/2 hours = 36 hours for rest, washing and walking to/from the cannery...It was a tough week about 3 hours hours of sleep a day.
That summer paid for a year of college.
Apparently, many are struggling with the fill in the blank format for “Name”, “Address”, and “Sex”, rather than multiple choice.
They MAKE them apply for loans or they don’t get a diploma? How is that even legal?? Get Dave Ramsey on the line!!
Admiral Akbar could not be reached for comment.
FAFSA is a requirement for student aid.
If you are middle class and white, your kids are not getting aid.
FAFSA forms are nightmare. It’s the government, they can’t make forms easy.
In 2021, Texas high school seniors will be required to fill out an application for federal financial aid to make sure students don’t leave free college money unclaimed.
Texas and Louisiana are the only states that will now require high school students to apply for financial aid.
Earlier this summer Governor Greg Abbott signed House Bill 3 into law to increase school funding and approve teacher raises.
Abbott also approved a requirement for all Texas high school seniors to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA for college.
Ya'll Texans need to ditch that stealth RINO and get the Colonel in there.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In other words, the drafters of the Constituiton had intended for high school seniors to contact their local and / or state governments for student aid, not the post-17th Amendment ratification, unconstitutonally big federal government.
In fact, consider that President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, had both indicated that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution before Congress can dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of intrastate schooling, something that the states have never done.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws" of the states [emphases added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But patriot students will first need to work with local and state leaders to put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes before their states will find new revenues to encourage students with student financial assistance.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
And to permanently restore state control of education, students will also need to work with their local and state governments to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments.
Or if the states eventually decide that the federal government can manage their education dollars better then the states can (yeah, right), then the states can always follow through with Jefferson's now unthinkable advice and appropriately amend the Constitution for federal involvement in intrastate schooling.
On Jefferson's behalf, he also wrote the following.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” — Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787).
“2) Any student whining that it’s too hard to fill out shouldn’t be qualified for college.”
Good point, as you do have to KNOW HOW TO READ to fill out the application.
Our guidance counselor posted the info just 3 weeks before the deadline.
My biorhythms were in sync that day, and I did well enough to get the scholarship.
Trust me, the FAFSA is NOT that difficult.
Why must this Free Federal Application for Student Aid be mandated to graduate?
It smells like a political boondoggle to enrich out “Betters”.
As a Unix admin, I worked for the DOE providing the IT infrastructure in the backroom. We had to triple computing capacity as the deadline approached. Any outage was a supreme crisis. I must say the DOE personnel were of high quality during my time.
