I want to be considered on my own because my mom isn't going to help me with college and my forms
================
You can not be considered independent of your mother just because she refuses to help you with this process
Are you having difficulty getting her information for the FAFSA forms?
yes, I can't get it
If you can't get her information the application will be considered rejected and you might not be able to receive any federal student aid. The most you would be able to get would be a loan called an unsubsidized loan.
================
but she is nasty and I can't get her to help, what should I do?
So you have no way of contacting your mom and getting her to help you?
yes, that is the situation I am in
Fill out the FAFSA form and then immediately get in touch with the financial aid office at the school you plan to attend. The financial aid office will tell you what to do next.
================
why do you need her info anyway?
This is just a way of looking at everyone in a consistent manner to evaluate information.
can I do the filling in on the form for them?
You can find out who has to provide parent information on the FAFSA form with our help
