[quote=Anonymous]Generally schools don't just take kids' word for it that they are independent. (Lower cost or state schools may; expensive private schools don't.) Otherwise everyone would claim to be independent to get more financial aid from the school. Students often have to show legal proof that a parent is not contributing, letters from clergy or others, or something. It was a huge hassle for me at the time - my dad made much more than my mom. He claimed he would help, but I knew that would never, ever happen and he would never have signed something saying he wouldn't be contributing. My financial aid package for nicer private schools always included a parental contribution that was utterly unrealistic. (I went to a state school on a full ride, so no harm done.)[/quote]
