Who qualifies to be counted in the number of people enrolled in college?
Any person who is counted in the household and will be attending any term of the academic year at least half time. Do not, however, count your parents in the number in college. The enrolled family member must attend an eligible program at an eligible institution. You (the student) need not be enrolled half time, however, to be counted in the number in college. To be counted in the number in college, the person must also be working toward a degree or certificate leading to a recognized education credential at a post-secondary school that is eligible to participate in federal student aid programs.
