Latest SDN Article! Discussing Service Orientation in an Impactful Way
If you are going to graduate/professional school, then you are considered independent and your need will be based on your income not on your parents. I never qualified for any type of aid during my undergrad years, but for my first year of medical school I have zero expected family contribution. Hope this helps

That's true, although I've heard that some institutional loans and grants require financial info from your parents, regardless of your independent status.
Having said that, I have a friend whose doing his transitional year now...he has a wife and 3 kids, and he got lots of financial aid during med school---despite his father being Chief of Anesthesiology at a local hospital!
Aloha
