The student doesn’t talk to his or her parents. What should the student do?
If the student cannot answer Yes to at least one question in the Student Status Step of the FAFSA, the student will not be able to complete the online FAFSA without providing his or her parents’ financial information. If the student does not have contact with his or her parents, the student needs to speak to the school’s financial aid office. They will be able to provide the student with options. We recommend that the student speak to the school before filling out the FAFSA.
