I’m a senior and class of 2016. I plan on attending college in fall of 2016. I have a detailed question about my aid. My mother died, and my father got deported to his home country. That left my uncle and aunt to take care of me. As of now I don’t know if they are in a legal guardianship with me. I’m vacationing without them this summer so until I return I don’t know if I’m in a legal guardianship. So am I considered independent? I’ve never met my father and my mother passed nearly a decade ago. Would I qualify to be an independent? what would my efc even be? I don’t think dependency is even an option because of my situation.
