Probably, but I believe that your tax information should reflect that you claimed your brothers - if you were able to do that. To be sure, you should discuss it with the financial aid department at your school. Or you could check out the FAFSA website, which I believe is http://www.fafsa.org. Hope it helped, although I don't personally know the specifics.

To put people in your household, you must provide at least 50% of their support. The household members need not live in the same home.
