You have to have graduated from high school, earned your GED or be an adult and pass an ability to benefit test to pay for post secondary school. You must qualify based on low family income among other things. Here is the Department of Education’s publication on federal financial aid.

This grant is for college and you have to be 18. If you are under 18 then you are considered Dependent and your parents or caretaker has to supply all their tax information for the previous years income. If you additionally apply for loans then your parent or caretaker has to be a co-signer so that if you fall into default the responsibility falls on them to repay the debt.

The only qualification is to be needy and a college student.If you are 17 going to school and your parents are not supporting your higher education you would be eligible. You will not know for sure unless you apply.

It is not about the age. You have to be in college to apply for one.
