What are some other ways you can pay for college?

In addition to federal financial aid, student loans, and work-study programs, there are other options for paying for college. These include employer tuition assistance, 529 savings plans, and education tax credits.

At what age does your parents’ income not matter for college?

You are considered a dependent student on the FAFSA form if you are under 24 years old. These are special circumstances when you may be considered independent under 24: - You are married. - You have dependents. - You are an active-duty US Armed Forces member or a veteran. - You are working toward an advanced degree (master’s or doctorate) the same year you’re seeking financial aid. - You have a legal guardian who isn’t a parent or step-parent, or you are emancipated. - You are unhoused or at risk of being unhoused.

Can I get a Pell Grant without my parents?

Federal Pell Grants are ways to pay for college and are typically awarded to undergraduates who need more financial assistance. You can apply for the Pell Grant without your parents’ information, but only if considered an independent student per the FAFSA criteria. If you are incarcerated and part of an approved Prison Education Program, you may qualify for the Federal Pell Grant.
