<p>Your parents' other children if:
a) Your parents will provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 or
b) These children can answer "No" to every Dependency Status question on the FAFSA</p>
<p>What does part b mean??? I have a sister who is independent?</p>
<p>What is your mother's/stepmother's first initial?
Does it mean the first name initial???</p>
<p>If your sister is independent for FAFSA purposes and your parents will not provide more than half of her support, don’t include her. However, if either a or b is true then you can include her.</p>
<p>I don’t recall the initial question, but sounds like they are asking for the first name initial.</p>
<p>Btw, you do realize that the FAFSA for next year will not be available until January 1st, right? Make sure you only use the fafsa.ed.gov site to file…not fafsa.com!</p>
