I need a real answer, FAFSA related?
If a friend's parents are refusing to give the information required for the student to fill out the FAFSA what can the student do? Specifically, what are the steps that need to be taken to fill out the FAFSA without needing the parent's information.

ok, but how would they go about declaring themselves as independent?

You can only be "independent" if you truly are -- if the parents provide financial support of any nature, insurance, or if he still lives with them, he's not independent. Basically, he needs to provide documentation of his status, notarized.

There are ways around uncooperative parents, but he'll need to work through his college financial aid office. Here's a sample form that one college provides to give you an idea of what's involved:

Have them go talk to the school adviser if still in high school and if in college have them talk to the financial aide office. They will be able to help them fill out the information. Good Luck

That's a really rough situation...I would go to the fafsa website...I think it's www.fafsa.gov . There's an faq section there. Maybe there's something that can help.

I cannot imagine why parents would do this: this form is necessary for scholarship money and federal loans. However, if this friend's parents are not helping him with college in any way, he could file as an "independent" student and his aid would be based solely on his own income and assets. His parents then would not be allowed to take him as a deduction on their tax return (which is why, if they want to claim him as a deduction, they really should give him the info he needs for the FAFSA).

I hate to tell you this, but you probably can't do anything about it, except talk to your financial aid administrator. If you want to go another route, try to find your parent's w-2's for the year. If they love you and want you to be successful, there should be no reason why they won't give you the information you need unless they are doing something illegal. I hope it all works out for you.

You cannot be independent unless no one can claim you as a dependent. I know someone else who was in this situation and basically they got stuck. Ended up taking loans (that a grandparent co-signed for).

Would they fill out the form & mail it directly for for your friend (so that your friend wouldn't know any of the information they supplied)?

If your friend is extranged from their parents (not living at home), but was their dependent last year, your friend might be able to write a letter to that effect.
