How much money a student qualifies for is dependent on what the federal and state agencies feel the need is. They have their methods of determining this by the questions asked on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application.
If you are applying for the 2008 Fall semester, you should apply right after the new year. The best way to apply is by doing it online rather than using the mail in application. Doing it online will give you a response within two weeks. If you apply using the mail in application, you may not receive an answer for eight to nine weeks.
Online Application Procedure
First, you must apply for a PIN. The PIN is a personal identification number that allows you to sign documentation electronically. If you are a dependent, your parent or guardian must also apply for a PIN. The PIN you keep forever so put it in a safe but accessible area. You apply for the PIN buy going to http://www.pin.ed.gov. You should receive the PIN within two to three days by email. Once you have received the PIN, you may then go to the FAFSA site at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and apply for the financial aid. Within two weeks you should be sent a student aid report (SAR) giving you your eligibility status and further procedural information. If you are having a hard time, and need certain questions answered, the site will give you a toll free number to call where you can speak with a representative who will be able to help you.

Yes, a parent's income does count when a 17-year-old is applying for financial aid for students. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) requires information about the parent's income and financial situation to determine the student's eligibility for federal student aid.

If they took it to pay for your college courses, that is acceptable use. But if they took the money for their own use, you can report it to the college financial aid office, to the police, and to the financial aid government office.

It depends on your year in school, your cost of attendance, and other financial aid you have.
It's around $28,000 a year with no financial aid as of 2010. Luckily, if you get your stuff in on time, the Financial Aid department is SUPER helpful in getting you loans, grants, and scholarships.
It will depend on different factors such as your school, what year you are attending if it is a graduate program, etc... I added a link with more specific qualifications in the related links.
EFC stands for Expected Family Contribution. The is an index number that college financial aid staff use to figure out how much financial aid you are eligible to receive if you go to their school. Your EFC is figured out after you report information about your specific situation on the FAFSA. It is based on a formula established by law. This formula considers your family’s taxed and untaxed income, assets, benefits, family size, and number of family members attending college. Your college figures out how much need-based aid you will receive by subtracting your EFC from your Cost of Attendance. Your EFC is not how much financial aid you will receive, nor is it how much money you will have to pay for college.
no
To much!
