Financial Aid regulations assume that the family has primary responsibility for meeting the educational
cost of students. If you are considered a dependent student according to the financial aid definition, your
aid eligibility is determined by using parent income and asset information in addition to your financial
information.
!
Occasionally, due to unusual circumstances a student should not be considered a dependent student. This
decision is made after careful consideration of the facts provided to the school along with this application.
Some of the circumstances that CANNOT be considered are: a student who no longer lives at home by
choice, a parent or stepparent(s) unwillingness to provide the necessary financial information to complete
the financial aid application or when a parent(s) lives in another state or country. You will be asked to
provide documentation that explains your request to be considered an independent student. You will be
required to provide supporting documentation in the form of letters or statements from people who are
intimately aware of your particular circumstance. Please be aware that if your application is not complete
we cannot review your request. Statements must be from relatives, clergy, counselors or older siblings.
