My spouse lives elsewhere and will not be moving to New Haven because he/she has a good job. How will this affect my financial aid?
Living expenses of student and spouse incurred during the academic period will be considered, provided that documentation of all expenses (including rent, food, utilities, etc.) for both households is submitted. An affordable contribution amount will then be determined, in accordance with federal regulations. Students should contact the financial aid office before assuming that they will not be eligible for aid because they are married. This assumption is often incorrect.
