QHow Do I Determine If My Child Is Dependent Or Independent?
AA dependent student is an undergraduate student whose parents provide more than half of their financial support. A dependent student is not married, is under 24 years of age, has no legal dependents, is not an orphan or ward of the court, nor a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. You may obtain a PLUS Loan if your child meets these requirements. An independent student is a student who is either married, 24 years of age or older, enrolled in a graduate or professional education program, has legal dependents other than a spouse, is an orphan or ward of the court, or a veteran of the US Armed Forces. Unfortunately, you may not obtain a PLUS loan if your child meets these requirements.
