Financial Aid FAQs

Am I required to list my parents on the FAFSA®?


If you are a Dependent student, you will need to list your parents on the FAFSA®. Dependency status is not determined by a lack of financial support from your parents. Students are considered Dependent on the FAFSA® until they are 24, married, have a dependent of their own, or are active military.
