I come from a fairly low income family, yet there is several thousands saved under my name. This will significantly deduct for my chance of receiving a Pell Grant, which is something I need.

Where can I specify that the majority of the money is in a Certificate of Deposit, which doesn't reach maturation until March of 2005 or else I'll have to pay penalties?

I'm going to send my FAFSA in the next 3 days or so. What should I do??

I just want to say..welcome to my boat. No money, and all I have to pay for school is in my name. I can't help you though...
