How much financial aid do you you think I will get?? I am an independent student. (please read on)?

I don't know how much money you will get but I can tell you that the above answer is wrong. Since you are married, you are considered emanicipated. To be considered emanicipated you have to be married OR have a child; not a bunch of children. The federal government will give you about $4500 in grants. I live in Ohio and my state gives about $2500 as additional grants. You can also get student loans which are unsubsidized and subsidized. You will qualify for them and they are based upon your year of attendance. For a freshman you can possibly get $6000+, sophmore $7500 and on. However since your father is a veteran and was hurt you may be able to go to school for free. Ask him to check it out and if he is unable you can ask your mother or you can check it out yourself. Check with VA benefits and you can also check with his former command because I am sure they will be more than willing to help. There are many services that will help you and your family. Be careful and don't let anyone scam you but there is more than enough to go around for the children of our countries hereos. God bless and tell your father that I pray for him and his brothers and sisters in the military.
