Are parents dependents?

<p>Im filling out fa apps and they ask to list all dependents. Are parents dependents themselves?</p>

<p>no
Parents are also not college students- if the FAFSA is for their dependent, even if they are in school.</p>

<p>Ok Thanks. I’m actually doing financial aid app for a specific college which asks: “Please provide information for all dependents below.”</p>

<p>well is there someplace where your parents information is already taken, or is that the only place for the household?</p>

<p>Never mind, I submitted it without listing my parents as dependents.</p>

<p>On most financial aid application forms there is a STUDENT section and a PARENT section. On each section, there is a place for dependents. Dependents are folks the PERSON is providing more than 50% of the support for. So…for the STUDENT section…you might have a dependent…perhaps a child…that you would list IF you are providing more than 50% of that child’s support. Under the PARENT section…the dependents would be any of THEIR children including your siblings who they are supporting.</p>
