An unborn child counts for making the student independent if the child will be born during the award year (July 1 to June 30) and the student intends to provide at least 50% support to the child during the award year.

Undue Burden. Definition - What does Undue Burden mean? An undue burden is an obstacle that is intentionally and unfairly put in the way of a party that is seeking to exercise a constitutional right. Undue burdens are not permitted by law, and there are legal procedures for determining whether or not a burden is undue.
The term burden of proof is used to mean two kinds of burdens: The burden of production (or the burden of going forward with the evidence) and the burden of persuasion. A burden of persuasion or risk of nonpersuasion is an obligation that remains on a single party for the duration of the court proceeding. Once the burden has been entirely discharged to the satisfaction of the trier of fact, the party carrying the burden will succeed in its claim.
