<p>Yes - my kid has an 1800 efc because of a cd that is in her name. The parental info is on the fafsa for institutional aid but doesn’t impact federal aid for which she is considered independent. We also have to submit all tax forms, w2’s etc for institutional aid.</p>

<p>
Yep. I see the light coming on. ;)</p>

<p>Yes, but sadly there’s still nobody home. :(</p>
