Do Siblings in Community College Count for Aid?

[phaseshift]

I’ve been filling out some Net Price Calculators, and they ask if I have siblings in college. Does community college count?

I’m sorry if this question has been answered somewhere else, but I haven’t been able to find an answer anywhere! Thank you!

Usually siblings going full time to community college DO count as siblings in college…but they have to be your parents dependents. Are they?

[phaseshift]

@thumper1 yes, they are my parents’ dependents. Thank you so much for the response!

They don’t have to be full time but they do have to be in a degree seeking program:

96. How many people in your (and your spouse’s) household (from question 95) will be college students between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020?
    Always count yourself as a college student. Do not include family members who are in U.S. military service academies. Include others only if they will attend, at least half-time in 2019-2020, a program that leads to a college degree or certificate.

Right…it’s at least half time…and in degree or certificate programs.
