Does a 529 savings account in your grandparent’s name have to be declared when applying for financial aid?

I’m applying for college and financial aid and I want to know if a 529 account needs to be declared if it is my grandparent’s name. Please state sources or how you would know.

I’ve never included the amount of my savings, and it’s never been a problem. I know several people who do this. If it’s in your grandparents name, you shouldn’t have to include it. I have been applying for financial aid for 6 years and it’s never been a problem when I leave out my financial info. Good luck
