First, we need to know the age of the student. If under age 24, the student's own income is completely irrelevant to the question. However, it will be necessary to determine whether or not the student is providing more than half of their own support. Support is independent of income. Support includes food, shelter, clothing, transportation, medical, entertainment, and education.
