Many variables are considered such as: family size, number of family members in
college, age of oldest parent, savings, investments, income, and assets.
Any one of the following will result in your being independent: age is over 23

legal dependents (other than a spouse) for which you provide more than half of their
support; married at the time of filing; an emancipated minor as determined by your
state; were in legal guardianship as determined by your state; or were considered
homeless.
The parent you live with should complete the FAFSA. If the parent you live with
has remarried, the information of that parent and their new spouse (stepparent) must
be used.
If your family's financial circumstances have changed due to death of a parent,
divorce or separation or loss of employment, contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss
your situation.
The Student Aid Report, or SAR, is generated from the information you submit with
your FAFSA. A copy is sent to you and to the college(s) indicated on your FAFSA. It
will provide you with how much the government expects you to contribute (Expected
Family Contribution or EFC).
