Explaining to FAFSA That No One Is the Boss of You

A student's dependency status determines what information you need to include when you file your FAFSA.

You may think your child is independent, but that may not be so in the eyes of FAFSA.

Typically, most college-bound students are dependent – they are between the ages of 18-24, rely on their parents’ support to pay for college, and are not married.

There are exceptions to this rule--being able to pay for college on your own is not necessarily enough--and it is crucial for parents to know what these exceptions are.

College-Planning Checklists for Every Grade of High School

Many people are under the misconception that college planning need only be attended to in 11th or 12th grade, but, you KNOW we're going to say that's not true, right?

Here are the links to all the checklists.
