When you get married does it affect how much you get for financial aid?

My fiance and I want to get married soon but I want to wait till after I graduate. We really wanna get married this summer but we are both scared it will mess with our financial aid for school, that we will get less. Is that true? If not what conditions apply to getting financial aid for school while being married?When you get married does it affect how much you get for financial aid?
Two incomes will affect your student aid. However, if between the two of you, you still make under what they think you should be making, you should be all right. If you are both students, I suspect you could possibly get more financial aid. But, who knows how exactly they base financial need, it all seems a little screwy to me. You might want to try talking to the financial aid office at your school. They are usually pretty helpful.When you get married does it affect how much you get for financial aid?
Depends on if you are the head of household or not.
yes, unfortinatly it dose, when your married they count both your incomes not just one, sorry to tell you this but if you love him and he loves you, thats not a reson not to get married, becuse there are other way to get help for school
