<p>my aunt lives under the same roof as my immediate family, but is on completely separate income and expenditure altogether. do i have to include her as part of my household? how do i explain it?</p>

<p>No, you don’t have to include her, unless she provides more than half of your support- or you (or your parents) provide more than half of her support. You don’t have to explain anything about her on the FAFSA- she does not fit the definition of who must be counted in your “household”.</p>

<p>Here is how you decided if she should be included in number in household for FAFSA</p>

<p>screwitlah, as I remember, you are international. The definitions quoted above are for FAFSA, which you do not and cannot fill out.</p>

<p>The International Student Financial Aid form does not ask how many people are in your household. It asks

</li>
</ol>

<p>Question 11 asks if you’re married, and if so, how many people are financially dependent on you.</p>

<p>Since your aunt is not financially dependent on your parents, you don’t list her.</p>

<p>The form also has a space for explaining additional information.</p>

<p>It’s quite clear if you just read the form.</p>
