• Will you be 24 or older by December 31 of the school year for which you are applying for federal student aid?

• Will you be enrolled in and working toward a master’s or doctorate (such as M.A., M.B.A, M.D., J.D., Ph.D., Ed.D., etc.)? NOTE: Luna Community College does not offer any of these degree options. This answer should be No.

• Are you married or separated but not divorced?

• Do you or will you provide more than 50 percent of the financial support of your children for the school year for which you are applying for federal student aid?

• Do you have dependents (other than children or a spouse) who live with you and receive more than half of their support from you during the school year for which you are applying for federal student aid?

• At any time since you turned age 13, were both your parents deceased, were you in foster care, or were you a ward or dependent of the court?

• Are you an emancipated minor or are you in legal guardianship (not custody) as determined by a court?

• Are you an unaccompanied youth who is homeless or self-supporting AND at risk of being homeless?

• Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces for purposes other than training?

• Are you a veteran of the U.S. armed forces?

Once you have submitted the FAFSA, you will receive a confirmation with a copy of your FAFSA Submission Summary. This will provide a summary of the data provided on your FAFSA form. You should review this information for accuracy and, if necessary, make corrections or updates to the submitted FAFSA data by logging into your FAFSA portal, using your FSA ID.
