𝗔: Yes. Everyone qualifies for some form of student aid, regardless of income and assets.
The FAFSA considers factors outside of income. Also, it serves as the application for federal work-study funds, federal student loans and even scholarships and grants offered by your state, school or private organization. If you want to get the most financial aid possible, you should consider completing the FAFSA. (Source: LOSFA)
