Financial Aid : Frequently Asked Questions

What determines whether a student is dependent or independent?

The Department of Education determines independent/dependent status. Normally, most students under the age of 24 are dependent unless they are veterans, or married. Living out on your own, financially independent of your parents, does not classify you as independent for financial aid purposes according to the Department of Education’s regulations.
