Independent student receiving financial aid
If i were to decide to live on my own and were accepted into a University of California, as an “indepentant” student, would i qualify for financial aid?
The thing is, I unsure of i should move out after high school, but i fear that it is too tough financially.
Unfortunately, no. You’ll only be counted “independent” if you’re an orphan, over 24, are married, have a kid, or are in grad school. There’s really no other way. Declaring independence has changed a lot since the 1990s…it used to be a lot easier (you just had to show your tax forms), but then the gov’t realized a lot of people were falsely claiming so they would pay less for college.
In your case, that’s tough. Do you really have to move out? If it’s a family issue…can you resolve it? And if you just want to get away from your parents…living on campus is basically like that.
For financial aid, even if you do plan on moving out, make sure you work with your parents to file your FAFSA…if you don’t, you won’t get any need-based aid at all.
