    The provided criteria for "dependent children" or "other persons" align with the requirement that family size align with whom the student could claim as a dependent on a U.S. tax return if the student were to file a U.S. tax return at the time of completing the FAFSA.  As a result, the student should not include any unborn children in the family size.  If more space is needed, please contact the financial aid office.
