People who reach the age of majority should be able to define their own economic independence, not ask permission or beholden their investment to another. Simultaneously, parents should not be forced to cosign, with their economics then being linked to the expectation of a repayment for a loan of another.

I havn't been financially supported since then. Unfortunatley as a teenager I didn't think that I needed to become emancipated. Only now that I'm 21 and trying to attend college and recieve financial that I am burdened with the fact that I am considered a "dependent" of my father. It is so frustrating that to be considered an Independant I have to be married, have a child, be 24+, be in the army, or legally emancipated! What about just being a responsible adult! HELP!!

I dont have anything in this court in my favor because of the way things are now so I'm considering not furthing my education.

I believe it is not fair for a student who is not recieving support has to go by the amount of money my parents make if they are not supporting me. This forces me to either not go to college or delay my dreams until im finacially declared idependent

When in the long run I will be accountable to pay back student loans on my own. I live independently and receive no help from my parents.

]]> Mon, 2 Feb 2009 09:39:32 UTC 4870365 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4773718?utm_medium=rss i think independent financial aid is a great idea. INFact i could use it right now, or else i dont know how im getting into college....some parents of students cant file financial aid with them because of past money or other problems which prevents the student from going into school thats the worst situation.

]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:42:08 UTC 4773718 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4741230?utm_medium=rss It is unfair that many people I know are not eligible to file for financial aid as an independent even though they live in a different state than their parents. Due to that they have to pay for college while paying for their personal needs.

]]> Thu, 8 Jan 2009 12:19:25 UTC 4741230 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4711473?utm_medium=rss I receive no help from my parents with college, and wish to file as an independent-- however, thanks to the government and the way they classify independent students. Thanks, Big Brother, you've done it again.

I have paid a rent payment since then by myself no help and all other bills. I am unable to go to college right now because i cannot pay to go to school plus afford to live. I am a waitress right now its hard to just support myself let alone pay for books and tuition.

There are plenty of adults who have been kicked out of the house at a young age and no longer receive any financial support. Those who have been forced to live on their own prematurely are exactly the type of people who need college to better their chances of economic success in the system. And yet they cannot pay and cannot receive federal support?
