How does divorce, separation, or remarriage affect financial aid?
The school considers the assets of both natural parents, if living, before making any award and cannot be bound by the assertion that one parent has disclaimed responsibility for educational expenses. If either parent has remarried, the school also considers the assets of the stepparent, always bearing in mind the obligation of that stepparent to his or her own natural children. It is necessary that both natural parents and their current spouses, if any, fill out a PFS form. It is the responsibility of the custodial parent to ask the non-custodial parent to fill out this form. If this information is not provided, the Financial Aid Committee may be unable to award a grant to the student. An additional PFS form for the non-custodial parent may be filed online or obtained from the Admission Office. Any financial aid information given by one parent is held in confidence and will not be shared with the other parent(s). What loans and payment plans exist to assist families with tuition cost
