Allow Students under 24 to clam independent Status under FASFA and give legitimate independent students a chance

Created by D.D. on November 13, 2011

My petition would re wright the current FASFA guidelines that state students under 24 must accrue there parents tax information to have accesses to financial aid. i believe this current legislation hinders legitimate independent students from accruing the financial aid and work-study we desperately need. i believe if the federal government would just add legislation that would allow students to show independent status through proof of independent residence or lack of parental contribution would be a revolutionary change. more importantly the more students who have accesses to a quality college education will intern crate better quality workers and job creators. and once again america will be the shining light upon the hill that ushers in change
