You need to go through process to be declared emancipated minor. You need to not be declared as a dependent on their taxes. https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/lo

  Went through this process with my school and was continually denied. Had letters from relatives, a psychologist, and a school counselor and was not declared as a dependent on my dad's taxes throughout undergrad. I didn't live with or speak to my father for the entirety of undergrad and beyond...still didn't make a difference.

    Grandparent is talking about a legal process, not letters from random folks.

      There’s nothing about getting emancipated that legally obligates schools to care.

        Federally, it helps and a lot of financial aid comes from the federal government.
