<prompt> Human: Hello, Im a 17 year old high school senior ready to make his way into college! also first post on here be gentleUnfortunately the tuition of the school Ill be attending is about 40,000year which is WAY out of our familys budget, which is why Ill be spending a lot of time filling out hundreds of scholarship applicationsI would like to also fill out the FAFSA as it would likely be of the most use, however since Im under 18 I cant apply for selective service which is a requirement. I wont turn 18 until next September about half way through my freshman yearHow can I receive any federal dollars from this program?Thank you very much kind redditors! Edit: Ive gotten a lot of comments about changing schools but this IS the school Im going to.. it is best for my career and is a very unique school. Changing isnt an option. Im simply asking for help on the government financial aid aspect. Thank you :  <response>: however since Im under 18 I cant apply for selective service which is a requirement.You actually can apply early submission starting when youre 17 years, 3 months old. Your application just wont be processed until you turn 18. Source.
