Yeah I know (and so does my son) that income is still taken into account, but at 21 years old the government separates a child from his parents and the income is then based only on the adult childs income and not that of his parents that have worked for thirty plus years and that makes a whole lot more money than that of a twenty year old...... we just went through this with our 24 year old son and he only has to repay $17k back from his college loan that he got with government help (he graduated last month btw) - w00t w00t.
