OK heres the issue. I was accepted early decision to a school. I filled the css profile and got my fin aid package back. It is reasonable and I plan to accept it and go. When filling the fafsa, if i include my state school as one of the schools on the FAFSA form, do i risk my decision from my early decision school being rescinded? I am only applying for this state school aid in case something comes up since i have already paid my deposit to my early decision school.

Could you elaborate a little more on this?

People apply to multiple colleges all of the time. Schools do not rescind offers because of that. The entire system would break down if that should happen.
A fear some kids have is that if they are applying for financial aid, the FASFA lists other colleges where they are candidates. In that case there have been suspiciouns that the admission or aid decisions could be affected. In your case the decision has been made, the offer extended and accepted. A reputable college will not go back on its offer.
