<p>So, my sis is having her baby this fall and I was wondering if that makes me qualify as a dependent student on FAFSA. The baby will definitely be receiving more than 50% of my family’s help.</p>
<p>No. Why would you think that?</p>
<p>Did you ask your question correctly??? Read it again … if that is what you really meant, please explain your thinking (because I don’t understand).</p>
<p>What does your sister’s baby have to do with you being a dependent or not on FAFSA?</p>
<p>Unless you are aged 24 or over, you are likely a dependent on FAFSA.</p>
<p>Not unless you are the father.</p>
<p>eew…</p>
<p>Your sister having a baby has no bearing on your DEPENDENT status on the FAFSA. You will continue to be a dependent student for financial aid purposes.</p>
