I am debating whether to include my parents' income on FAFSA or not?
Do the Stafford loans look at your parents' income? When would I include their income on FAFSA? (For scholarships, I guess...)

any comments is appreciated.

Parents income has nothing to do with Stafford Loans. You'll get the 8500, subsidized no matter what, and the remaining unsubsidized as well (up to around 32,000 if you need it). However, if you want institutional aid (loans, grants, scholarships, etc.) most schools require your parents info on the FAFSA.
