在以下情况下，我们认为学生是独立的:

在以下情况下我们不会认为学生是独立的:

- 家长没有将学生作为受抚养人包括在他们的税收中
- 独立生活或只养活自己的学生
其他情形
These are all other unique situations that support processing your FAFSA without parent information. 提供的联邦财政援助的类型会有所不同.
An Unaccompanied 流浪青年的决心 is a notification from the student of their homeless or at-risk of homelessness living situation. The required documentation will verify their independent status reported on the FAFSA.
在以下情况下，我们认为一个学生是一个无人陪伴的流浪青年:
- A letter has been provided to the student by a homeless liasion of a local educational agency designated by the McKinney Vento Homelessness Assistance Act;
- A letter has been provided to the student by a director of an emergency or transitional shelter, 街道外展计划, 无家可归的青少年收容中心, 或者其他为无家可归者服务的项目;
- A letter has been provided to the student by a director of a Federal TRIO program or a Gaining Early Awareness 和 Readiness for Undergraduate program (GEAR UP); or
- A letter has been provided to the student by a Financial aid official at another college who documented your circumstance this year or in the prior award year.
