This is my second year of college and I have been receiving financial aid since freshman year. I have worked as an interpreter at home for the full year of 2009 and part of 2008. Because I only worked for the last 2 months of 2008 I didnt have to file any taxes. Anyways for the year of 2009, my income from working full time is almost 26,000, but my mom does not have an income. She is widowed and probably just received a few hundreds from ssa. Although I am still considered a dependent, I have to support my mom since she only has a couple hundred dollars a month. I have to fill out a verification form from my school, do I just fill out the truth, how much I make and such? Under these circumstances, will I be able to receive financial aid? I have to work full time to take care of my mom, and myself. Thanks to everyone who respond.
