<li>Should mineral rights be included on the FAFSA? We don’t own the land, just the mineral rights. Not sure how to go about valuing them if they need to be included.</li>
<li>What about treasury bonds?</li>
</ol>
<p>Yes, they both count. The value of the mineral rights are what you could sell them for to a willing buyer. It is possible that there is no willing buyer (your family got them a long time ago, and turned out to be a dud), so the value would be $0.</p>

<p>A stock broker should be able to give you a value of the bonds. There are many factors that will play into their value.</p>
