Education

I'm still having problems getting a concrete clarification of:

 

* "The person doesn't provide more than half of his or her own support".

 

Does this include grad school costs, taking out loans in their own name to pay for grad school?  What if, say for example, they received aid from myself for food, rent, etc. but they got student loans in their name to pay for school that exceeded that amount?  What really qualifies as "support"?
