Hey y'all.
I'm a 34 year old male in the US. I've been a traveller most of my life and have generally done computer work for myself. I am proficient with computers but would like to go back to college. Since I don't have any savings I would want to apply for student aid to pay for school/living expenses. The only issue is that I never registered for the selective service and am therefore not eligible for federal student aid, at least according to the information I've found on the internet. I have, however, found some claims that you can have that requirement waived. Anyone have experience with this? I honestly never knew that I had to register and since I was on my own from 16 years old I didn't find out until much later in life. I'm still doing to research on this to see how likely it is to be granted an exception, though it doesn't seem very likely.
Any input would be appreciated!
Cheers
