Typically, the value of your financial aid package is determined by the income earned by you and your parents. If you do not have parents, the package will be based on the income of your legal guardian. In the event that you are a single individual without a legal guardian, the financial aid package will be based on your personal income.

As a reminder, there are many private scholarships available to students who have lost one or both of their parents. I would highly recommend visiting a scholarship website to perform a search.
