BelknapPoint can give the definitive answer assuming you have provided sufficient info.

But I will say, it’s my understanding that income for student 2…would have NO impact on Student 1 financial aid.

I agree.

There is no place on the financial aid forms to even indicate sibling income. Is there?

Not that I am aware of. Unlike parent income, sibling income is not expected to be available for use by the student to pay for the student’s educational expenses.
