Does a step parents income affect financial aid?
Yes, provided that the parent you’re living with is the one filling out the FAFSA (your custodial parent). If your stepparent is married to them at the time you fill out the FAFSA, they must report their income and assets even if they weren’t married to them in the previous year.
How much can you make and still get financial aid?
The student income allowance is $6,6-2020. Plus, after that, only “50 percent of your non-work-study income will count against your eligibility to receive federal student funding.” There are also other types of income that do not have to be counted as income in this calculation.
How much financial aid do I have left?
Go to FAFSA.gov and log in. View your SAR by selecting “view” or print to see what your financial aid award amount is, your Pell Grant eligibility, and what you are eligible to receive for that award year.
