<p>hey everyone! I'm in the process of filling out my financial aid stuff. I know this may sound retarded of me, but i am seriously confused. The question asks "How many people in my parent's household will be college students in 2007-2008"? ok...so i have a sister who is in dental school and my parents are paying for her tuiton. She should still be under my parent's household right ? Thanks</p>
<p>If your parents are providing more than half her support, she can be counted as part of your household.</p>
<p>Now, whether you include her as a college student depends on the school she's attending. In order to qualify she has to be "attending at least half time in an approved program during 2007-08 that leads to a degree or certificate at a postsecondary school eligible to participate in any of the federal student aid programs." If her school meets that critera, then count her.</p>
