Do I qualify for First Gen?

Paying for College
1

<p>My mom finished Community College with a 2 yr certificate, but no degree.
My dad transferred from Comm College to a Public 4yr, and finished with a 2 year AA.</p>

<p>In terms of ‘college’, my dad did complete a degree. But I heard that the FAFSA definition is a bachelor’s degree?</p>

<p>Thank you for the links!
I wasn’t able to answer my question too well, but the FAFSA actually didn’t ask for that.</p>
