Federal Student Aid for Married Couples?

My college friend recently told me that when she got married, the governement paid for her and her husband's schooling (because he only worked summers). A different friend confirmed this. I have been doing some research on this and cannot find any solid proof. My boyfriend and I are seriously concidering getting married but we would like to know what kinds of college expenses there will be. Does anyone know if our schooling would be covered? Either way, would you help me find the proof?Federal Student Aid for Married Couples?
The Expected Family Contribution or EFC is the number the school uses to determine financial need. The formula that is used to determine this number does take into effect that you are married because that will consider you and your spouse independent and a different formula is used for independent students vs. dependent students. Another factor is the number of people in a house hold going to college. That includes kids but I do not remember if it includes spouses. Check with a Financial Aid Counselor at a school. Income is also looked at so the more need demonstrated based on income the more in Fed Aid you can get. Keep in mind that when married if you filed together on your taxes then you have to included both incomes.Federal Student Aid for Married Couples?
There is no absolute proof because every student's situation is unique. When you are married you apply for aid using yours and your spouse's income and asset information rather than yours and your parent's information. Usually a newly married couple's income is less than your parents who have been in the workforce for a number of years. Since your income would be less you have the opportunity to receive additional financial assistance. The only way to find out for sure what kind of aid package you and your spouse could receive (assuming both of you are attending college) is to apply by completing the application at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. If you do plan on filing as married make sure you do not complete the FAFSA until after you are actually married. Marital status cannot be changed if you get married after you complete the application.
go to fafsa.ed.gov and fill out the application for federal aid. have it sent to the schools you are interested in attending. then contact their financial aid offices. Federal Student aid is need-based. You might also qualify for additional grants and scholarships that would not need to be repaid.
As mentioned above, the fafsa is the first step. Because you are checking the box saying you are married, your income will be based on only your husband and you. Otherwise your income is based on your parents, even if they don't pay a dime!


I haven't experience the government ';paying'; for me, but we did get more subsidized and unsubsidized loans as well as more of a Pell Grant.
Your schooling will not be free; however, there may be types of Federal Student Loans (which you must pay back 6 months after you are out of school).





Contact your school's financial aid office to determine your eligibility.

when you file your fafsa, there is a spot asking if you are married. there are also fields when the SCHOOL itself has forms to fill out for financial aid.

The Westside (MDR, Venice,Sta Monica,etc) and beach areas are where you're more likely to see mixed (black/white) race couples.

What do you think of couples who go to motels/inns to make out/have sex?

Is it sleazy? Or do you think that it was considerate of them to do their thing somewhere private?What do you think of couples who go to motels/inns to make out/have sex?
I think it is fine as long as you are both adults and go to a clean hotel. As in my case, I have a platonic male room mate and my boyfriend sometimes feels uncomfortable staying over with someone else in the house. We get a room in a nice hotel and are able to just be alone for the evening.What do you think of couples who go to motels/inns to make out/have sex?
erm mayb...
its normal......esp if there is nowhere else to be alone.
If it makes them happy, I'd say go for it. If they are cheating on someone, though, it's shady and sleazy. Some couples might do this to spice things up, or maybe just to have some much needed privacy. Who am I to judge with others do? Live and let live, I say! :)
lol.......i never considered myself sleezy back when I felt I needed privacy with my hun. I consider it quite time....away from prying eyes.
better then in public.
I think the beds are usually too uncomfortable in a hotel.. Ya never know how up to date they are on cleanliness. Better off keeping it @ home
Hmmm. well it's been going on for years
People please!! who cares about a stupid bed when u really wanna get some, for real!!!
No, they are not sleazy but, those nasty motels are.
It's better than making out in the street or movie houses right? Come to think of this at least they are helping those people who are working in the motels or inn by renting the space. As long as this couple are paying the rent its fine.
personally.. i think its kinda disgusting.. to go have sex where other people have.

What is the rating for ';Couples Retreat';?

Does anybody know the rating for the movie ';Couples Retreat'; that is coming out in OctoberWhat is the rating for ';Couples Retreat';?
It hasn't been rated yet. I would say that it has a good chance of being R though. You can check IMDB.com or MPAA.org for rating updates when they become available.
