financiallylost = Yeah, that’s exactly the problem. I just wanted to know if waiting that long would even be worth it. I think I heard that each school sets their own rules. Even if you qualify for more benefits being Independent or whatever, the school does not have to grant you discounted everything. (Ex. if they charged $30,000 in tuition they are allowed to cap what their FA covers at just $9,000, even being Independent.)

I saw that form, but I’m asking about something more specific. Plus, that still doesn’t apply to me until the next year (2017-2018).

Yes, in April.
