The FAFSA form requires students to provide personal and financial information, which is used to assess how much aid and what type of aid to award to a student. Otherwise, FAFSA’s relationship status with your parents is complicated, so it’s not always clear as to which parent(s) is the right parent for FAFSA purposes. Note: Don’t forget to include your stepparent’s information if the divorced parent who is filling out your FAFSA is remarried at the time you submit your FAFSA.
