Default Re: Financial Aid/FAFSA Loophole?

</font><blockquote><font class="small">En réponse à:</font><hr />
I marry another student. Instead of being dependent I am now independent. We both file our taxes "married filing jointly" declare random summer job earnings no more than $3000 or whatever. We automatically qualify for Pell and FSEOG. Our EFC would be 0.

Free money. Just for the $45 marriage license. What is possibly wrong with scenario?

Discuss.

You can file independent without getting married you know.
