Would there’s circumstances declare you as an exception and allow you to be declared an “independent student”? The fafsa form is filled out differently then, regardless of age and what year college student you are. Counselors would be able to help with this. Counselors are your best friends in these scenarios. Don’t give up hope. There are special circumstance exceptions for these reasons

I qualified as an independent ONLY because my grandma pursued legal guardianship through the court and I was living with her. The school I went to needed proof of this.

It is incredibly difficult to qualify for those kind of things. It's not about how much your parents are contributing but how much it seems like they should. It's ridiculous and a good way to keep poor people poor and uneducated.

Most people won't qualify for this.
