Are the parent's still claiming the student on their taxes? If not then the student could qualify for aid.
There are always scholarships & Grants ( the Fin Aid office calls any help with tuition Financial Aid)

The term "Financial Aid" is a broad term for ANY money given to pay for school and can include scholarships, loans, and grants. So yes, of course this person would be able to if they apply and receive it... most merit scholarships go by grades and test scores, not income. PS Anyone can get a federal student loan regardless of parents income.

Probably not for a Pell Grant. If he got a job and became independent of his parents, or whoever claims him on their tax return he might stand a better chance. I believe it comes down to the income and net assets of the parent who claims the dependent.

Hi!
How old is this person? If he or she is over the age of nineteen and not living at home, the parents don't mean squat. I come from mechanical and aerospace engineers respectively, and since I'm flying solo and old enough to do so, mine is the only financial condition the college concerns themselves with. My advice to you is ask the parental units to set you up in a modest but decent apartment, explain that your only income is the occasional odd job for family, and go in as a full-time student. Full-time students are not required to hold jobs, and you can pull a substantial dispersement check each semester if you play your cards right. The downside is that you cannot get any state welfare assistance aid if you are a full-time student, so no medical or food stamps. You will also only get one check per semester, so you will have to budget very wisely and stick to it for all you are worth. All the university campuses that I know of have a student medical services center, and you'd be wise to check out what the span of their services and facilities are before you chose your college. This is because you are basically returning to ye old daycare center, where you are surrounded on a daily basis by hundreds of bodies in various stages of contagious illness.
I wish you luck in your academic endeavors!

Could get loans.
Otherwise, pay your way through until you are 24. Then, everything is based on YOUR income and assets.

Depends...
If the family is in the country illegaly, they'll get more than they can use.
If they're tax paying citizens, fat chance.

yes.... if he or she is smart.
On the FAFSA you have to put like... the stuff you own and business or something. Don't forget to apply for other types of scholarships, though.
