Financial Aid Forms

<p>Has anybody had any trouble filling them out? I'm finding it all confusing, mainly because I'm doing it by myself. I filled out the CSS Profile, working on the FAFSA. My question is, what about the non-custodial parent form? I haven't seen my biological father in nine years, have NO idea where he is, NO way to contact him. I'm scared to death they I won't get any financial aid because I can't fill out the non-custodial tax infomation (and of course there's no way I can get the non-custodial parent "statement"). Blech. I'm calling them tomorrow about it. Do you think I'll have to provide proof that we are not in contact? Because I don't know how I would do that.</p>

<p>I had sort of the same problem as my mother brought us to America and I myself certanily don't know where my father is. What I did in my case, which i would suggest you should do, as others have confirmed this as an acceptable way to get a noncustodial waiver, is to get your GC, or a disinterested party that knows about your situation, or will step up on bat for you and make the written statements with the circumstances you listed, etc. </p>

<p>If your mom is single, separated, or divorced, the only proof you may have to show is its listing on your mother'sthe w-2f orm. I should think if you sent this in (i'm not sure whethe rmy GC did), this may provide some sort of validity to back up statements. </p>

<p>But anywy, it being both our concersn, will being late for this specific issue be disadvantageous to getting the ncesasry financial aid?</p>

<p>call them</p>
