I know apartments accept financial aid as income on their applications as I have done it in the past. However, I forget how I included it on my apartment applications. I am going to be applying for my apartment before I even get my financial aid so I don’t have any proof of disbursement documents yet. Should I just print my student aid report directly from the fafsa website and attach it? Or is there a better way that I am unaware of? Also, I don’t now if this matters, but I will also have a co-signer since I haven’t established good credit yet. Thank you in advance.
Why not ask at the apartment rental office? If they have a lot of student tenants, they should have a standard procedure for this.
Usually there is a place on the form for income and then a line for ‘other sources’ of money. Some use that line for child support, alimony, parent’s support, etc.
