Fafsa, parents' criminal record

Will it harm me to put my parents' information into FAFSA, if they have a criminal history? Or should I only include my own info?

I should note that I was never employed and never took out loans before. My parents are unemployed and receive disability payments.


Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. How do you know this?

Grad school treats all people as independent, your parents don’t matter

I see. Should I still list them of Fafsa? My thought process is that being from a low income family might help me with loans somehow.... Idk though 🙂
Thanks!

For need based scholarships at most schools, you’ll need to list your parents on your FAFSA.

Put your parents on there. Fafsa isn’t running background checks, and you may get a health professional loan that is subsidized. If you’re looking to take out grad plus loans your credit score matters, j believe, and some people may need a co-signer with a better score.
