I write this blog to provide an unfamiliar look into schooling and to offer some ideas that may be useful for teachers, particularly secondary teachers.
"One of my students, now eighteen, wondered if he could fill it out without listing his parents. He can’t."
He might be able to. He should talk to a college financial aid advisor to find out if he meets the criteria to qualify as an independent student. It's a strict criteria and he would need documentation every year, but it IS possible for students under 23 to qualify.

Unfortunately for that student they do not qualify. But they are going to submit the FAFSA, their parent too.
