Note: Unlike some federal aid programs, the Fee Assistance Program requires your parents’ financial information and supporting tax documentation if you are under the age of 26 at the time of submission, regardless of your:
- Marital status.
- Age.
- Tax filing status (independent or dependent).
- Parents’ country of residence.
- Parents’ willingness to provide documentation.
If you are under the age of 26 at time of submission, your parents’ financial information is considered separately from your own, and each household must meet the Fee Assistance Program poverty guidelines described above.
For more details, refer to Parental information in this guide.
If you are under age 26 at the time of submission, your parents' financial information and supporting tax documentation are required regardless of your marital status, your age, your tax filing status (independent or dependent), your parents' country of residence, or whether your parents are willing to provide documentation.
