Question : How do I apply for FAFSA without involving my parents?
This may sound silly but is there really no way to bypass having to involve my parents in filling out a FAFSA application? I live on my own but I am not over 24yrs old. I guess that is the big kicker...I live alone and will be paying for the college courses myself so I didn't see any need to contact my parents about this.Help?

All Answers: Answer #1 Can your parents still claim you as a dependant? If you are living on your own, then they probablycan't. If that is the case then you don't have toreport their income. If you have already beenaccepted at a school, go to the Financial Aidoffice and ask for some help filling out theforms. - answered by kaadish
