Can I file fafsa independently if I am going to turn 21 in about a month?

Question

I am trying to fill out my fafsa application but I am under 21 and I turn 21 in about a month. I want to be able to file independently because for some reason that I don't want to discuss I am unable to file under my parents. Is there a way for me to file independently?

Answer 1

No, you cant file independently until you are 24.  You will need to submit your parents information

Answer 2

No, you need to be over 24 to file independently, not 21.

Answer 3

No.  Law says 24 years old or more or married, veteran, and a few others.
