Parent FAFSA Refusal Form

Parents:



Federal regulations define financial aid dependency status based on thirteen federal aid criteria. If your child does not meet any of these

federal criteria, then the federal regulations will not allow him/her to apply for any grants or interest free loans unless s/he provides parent

financial data on his application form (FAFSA). These regulations still apply even if you are not providing any financial support and even if

you have not listed him/her as an exemption on your tax return(s).



If s/he was supported by other relatives or friends, we cannot use their data and are still required to collect parent data.



We also cannot waive parent data requirement based on low parent income because the federal financial need formula already considers

each family’s financial need.

Students:

Before you complete this form, please carefully read the following information:



To apply for grants and subsidized loans that are interest free during school, you must complete a FAFSA form, and unless you meet the

conditions listed on the FAFSA form for independent status, you must provide your parent(s)’ financial data on the FAFSA form.

(Subsidized loans are interest free while you are enrolled in school at least half-time.)



If you are unable to provide parent data because of family problems, instead of completing this form, please contact us to discuss a

“Dependency Appeal.” If we can approve a “Dependency Appeal,” you could become eligible for grants or subsidized loans.

If you have already spoken with our office and we were not able to approve a Dependency Appeal for you, then you may use this “Parent FAFSA

Refusal Form” to request permission to borrow a Federal Unsubsidized Direct Student loan without parent FAFSA data.



This parent refusal process will not allow you to apply for any other forms of aid as an independent student. It will only allow you to apply

for an Unsubsidized Direct Student Loan.



In addition to the Parent FAFSA Refusal form, you must also complete all student sections of the FAFSA. The FAFSA web site

( ) will allow you to submit a FAFSA without parent data, but it will repeatedly warn you that the standard process requires

parent data. Keep insisting that you do not want to provide parent data and it will let you submit the FAFSA without parent data.
