students who have access to parental
support are classified
as dependent students.
dependent students and their
parents must report respectively
their income and assets on the FAFSA
form:
see
our Step 2 for more information
about the FAFSA form
- you were at least 24 years
of age on January 1 of the academic
year you begin school
- you are married on the day you apply (even if you are separated but not divorced)
- you will be enrolled in a graduate
or professional program (beyond
the bachelor's degree) at the beginning of the academic year
- you have legal dependents
other than a spouse who receive more than half their support from you
- you are an orphan or ward
of the court (or were a ward
of the court until age 18)
- you are veteran of the U.S.
Armed Forces ("veteran"
includes a student who attended
a U.S. military academy who
was released under a condition
other than dishonorable)
not living with parents or not being claimed by them on tax forms does not determine dependency status for federal student aid
