2015-16 Dependent Support Form
Student’s Name: ___________________________________ ID# ___________________________
Your status for financial aid as an Independent student is based solely upon your indication that you have children or
other dependents who will receive more than half of their support from you from July 1, 2015 June 30, 2016. Since
you do not meet any of the other criteria to be considered independent, you must complete this form to
demonstrate how you will provide support for your children or other dependents. If you cannot demonstrate
support you will be considered a dependent student and your parent will need to complete and sign your FAFSA.
Please complete this form. Do not leave any questions blank. Return this form along with all requested supporting
documentation to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office will review your information and determine if it is
sufficient to demonstrate support of a child or other dependent. If determined that you do not provide more than
half of the support for the child/dependent below, you will be considered a dependent student and will need to
update your FAFSA to include your parents’ information.
