Kids that drop from any of the academies-- It happens as we have learned thru personal experience. We have been so grateful for the parents that have reached out to us with encouragement and information going forward to plan B. We did not know it and thought it would be a great thread to have on here for those that are looking for any information.
For FAFSA purposes only, it is a requirement that a person has a one-day minimum requirement of active duty service in the Armed Forces to be considered a veteran. This can be interpreted any cadet that has been sworn in would be considered a veteran with an honorable discharge for financial aid. It does not make them eligible for any other veteran benefits, it is only for FAFSA purposes. The change will allow the student to be considered an independent student instead of a dependent student from their parents. It will allow them more financial aid on their own and will completely remove parents from the equation of aid.
