I would look for any community sessions on the FAFSA app process. Sometimes they even offer one on one sessions that can help you navigate it. Good luck!!

I don’t think so, but my situation may be a bit different. I am an independent student, my dad is deceased and my mother is not in my life. However, I got emancipated at 16 which is what may be different between us.

Being emancipated is a key difference in this case.
