will off campus housing lower aid for siblings

<p>New to college financial aid, I have a student who has an institutional grant and work study. Will these funds be lowered if she moves off campus? and will this affect my other child's aid for his freshman year. I know the FAFSA last year asked where student was living. we clicked on campus housing. If we pick one off campus and one on campus will they lose some of the grant money? thank you!</p>

<p>For federal aid, it depends on the school. FA is based on a school’s COA. Some schools have a lower COA for students living off campus. Others do not. Ask your school. For institutional aid, check with the school if there are any specific conditions. </p>

<p>It shouldn’t affect the sibling’s aid.</p>
