Students who are unmarried and under 24 years of age but reported on their FAFSA that they have
dependents other than a spouse and children must prove that they provide more than 50% of the financial
support for those dependents in order to be classified as an Independent Student.
Please answer ALL of the following questions carefully and attach requested documentation to support
your claim. Forms submitted without proper documentation will be considered incomplete until
documentation has been received.
Dependents are people who you will financially support between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, that
live with you.
Support includes money, housing, food, clothes, car expenses, medical and dental care, child care costs,
and any other similar expenses or bills you pay on their behalf.
*** IMPORTANT ***
If you are unable to prove you provide 50% of the financial support for the dependents you claim, you
will be considered a DEPENDENT student. You will be required to submit a correction to your FAFSA
to include parental information, income and signature.
Financial aid eligibility will not be determined or awarded until the FAFSA correction is received.
