[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that all the parents' income and assets will be considered for aid at private universities. That includes stepdad and dad.[/quote] Is she in a position to file for legal emancipation? She can also write a supplement explaining the situation and ask for a dependency override and hope they consider it, but they may not. Plus she has to be comfortable throwing them under the bus in writing. A lot of students have tricky and difficult family situations, lots of deadbeat or simply frugal parents refuse to pay for their kids' schooling, and schools really are not in a good position to be the arbitrators of which of those parents should be let off the hook on the backs of their donors' contributions. She should do everything she can to qualify for scholarships and merit awards.[/quote]
