In this video, Becoming An Independent Student & How It Helps & Hurts Your Financial Aid we discuss when is a good time and bad time to become an independent student for financial aid.

A dependent student is assumed to have the support of parents, so the parents’ information has to be assessed along with the student’s, in order to get a full picture of the family’s financial strength.
