Which of the following students are ineligible for assistance according to the student rule?

A student under age 24 who is not a veteran is ineligible for assistance under the student rule due to regulations that primarily target restrictions for certain demographic groups receiving public housing assistance. The student rule, as outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), indicates that students who do not meet specific criteria, such as being a veteran or meeting independence status, may not qualify for housing assistance.

In this case, students under the age of 24 who are not veterans are considered dependent and typically do not qualify for assistance because they are expected to rely on parental income and support. The rule is designed to ensure that public assistance is directed towards those with greater financial needs, particularly considering the living costs and continued education expenses.

Other scenarios, such as a student enrolled at a trade school, a married student, or an independent student with children, do not fall under the strict ineligibility category based on the outlined criteria. These individuals may demonstrate independence or other qualifying factors that allow them to receive assistance despite their student status. For instance, the status of being married or having children can provide a basis for consideration of independent living circumstances, potentially qualifying them for assistance under different provisions.
