<p>Hey everyone.</p>
<p>I just wanted to find out if anyone knew what the Financial Aid process for Internationals using the 2005/2006 International Student Financial Aid application (ISFA) from the College Board. Is my non-custodial parent (my parents are separated) also expected to fill in this form? Anything else I should know?</p>
<p>Any help would be great....</p>
<p>yeah me too.
but none of the colleges say anything about submitting the ISFAA twice (one for each parent)
So I guess I'll send only the custodial parent one.
In any case, my non custodial parent isnt legally bound to pay for my college education. Technically I could be sued if I asked for anything</p>
<p>but my dad filled out and signed some copies of the ISFAA in case the colleges ask for them. I wish all the colleges would make aid applications as convenient as Pton does.</p>
<p>Hmmmm...well Yale does have its own separate form for non-custodial parents apart from the ISFAA. I know that Grinnell doesn't requre any paperwork from the non-custodial parent.</p>
<p>Sucharita, what d'you mean your non-cust. parent isn't legally bound to help pay for your education? Is that just an Indian law or something the colleges say?</p>
<p>It is my understanding that if your parents are separated or divorced, for the fin. aid consideration ONLY earnings of the custodial parent is counted.
I dont recall the uni.'s website on which i read it, but I definitely read it before a week or so ago.</p>
<p>The same thing applies to the applicants whose parents (married or divorced) will only support a specific $ amount. My parents have a specific amount for me and they wont give me a single penny more - so I am only listing that amount for my parents' assets (minus my car ;))</p>
<p>I came across this article; see if it helps
