My school site says I need to fill out a FAFSA and some loan forms, but I don't think I need to because I already have a Bright Futures scholarship. I'm waiting for them to respond to my email, but I thought I would ask you guys since you may have encountered the same problem.|||If you are only interested in receiving the Bright Futures scholarship, then you do not complete the FAFSA (Free Application For Student Aid - http://www.fafsa.ed.gov).
However, if you would like the financial aid staff at your school to consider you for any other financial aid awards for which you may be eligible, then you will need to complete the FAFSA application. For example, some schools have their own grant/scholarship funds for just their own students. If your school has such funds and if you choose not to complete and submit the FAFSA, then your school will not consider you for any such awards.
Also, you may get a faster reply (and definitely will be able to hold a conversation) if you telephone the financial aid office of your school and ask your question (and any others) of a real person. :-)
Best wishes
