Does an applicant need to provide a stepparents information on the application?
The Federal and State Grant Programs require a stepparent’s financial information if your birth parent remarried prior to filing the application, regardless of whether your stepparent directly assists you with your educational expenses. Your family does benefit from the stepparent’s income; therefore, to properly reflect the income and assets used by your family to meet normal living expenses, you must report both parents’ income and assets.
