JeanM Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 After reading the two kids in college at once thread, I'm wondering how the sibling thing works. Mine are two years apart. If the older one gets a job or has some source of income, would that effect the younger one's EFC? It sounds like there could be an impact on the sibling if one gets a scholarship?

creekland Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 You fill out one Fafsa for each sibling. The form asks for the income of the parents and the student. It does not ask about sibling income. The two are independent for that. Child A getting a job (or scholarship) will not affect Child B. The form asks how many students are in college (for the family) at the same time and that sometimes needs to be officially verified (other times not). Tax forms verify income.

That seems very clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
