Yes, can you tell me the difference between a dependent student and an independent student?
Of course. To decide that, read the definitions, find out who has to provide parent information on the FAFSA form, and learn what to do if you aren't in contact with your parents.
================
My form looks different than the one my friend had last year.Where can I find up to date questions regarding my status?
On our website you'll find the questions that determine your dependency status, first in a graphic format and then for 2020/21 specifically in a table of dependency status questions.
================
How should I fill out the dependency status questions on my form then?
You are not a veteran if you 1 have never engaged in active duty including basic training in the U.S. armed forces , 2 are currently a Reserve Officers Training Corps ROTC student or a cadet or midshipman at a service academy, 3 are a National Guard or Reserves enlistee activated only for state or training purposes, or 4 were engaged in active duty in the U.S. armed forces but released under dishonorable conditions and should answer with "no".
================
What if I'm a dependent student?
Then you will report your and your parents information.
================
What if I answered "No" to all questions?
Did you answer "no" to all questions?
No, I'm just curious.
