Typically, colleges expect non-custodial parents to contribute financially to the cost of their child's education. However, you may petition colleges to waive your non-custodial parent's financial contribution. Only students who have a significant history of little or no contact, or other exceptional extenuating circumstances, should fill out this form.
To request a waiver of your non-custodial parent's financial contribution, you will need to send a Non-Custodial Parent Waiver Petition to each college that you rank for the Match. The deadline to submit this form to the colleges is November 1. Please do not send this form to QuestBridge.
Instructions for submitting the form to each college are included in the Match Requirements for Finalists on each school's Match Requirements page. Pay careful attention to all instructions and include all necessary supplementary forms and documentation the colleges may require. If you have additional questions, please reach out to the individual financial aid offices directly. You will find contact information at the bottom of each school's Application Requirements page.
