Noncustodial PROFILE

If you indicate on the CSS PROFILE Application that your biological or adoptive parents are separated, divorced or have never been married, then the College Scholarship Service (CSS) will notify you online at the end of the PROFILE registration that WPI requires the Noncustodial PROFILE. The College Board will also send you an e-mail detailing this requirement.

Both the online and email messages will include the following information:

The Noncustodial PROFILE must be completed by your noncustodial parent in order to meet application requirements for financial aid. In addition to completing the Noncustodial PROFILE online, your noncustodial parent may be required to forward copies of his/her Federal IRS Tax return and W-2(s) to WPI's Office of Financial Aid if we select your file for verification.

In cases where the Noncustodial PROFILE cannot be completed by the noncustodial parent, it will be necessary for the student to obtain documentation verifying why this form cannot be completed. Such documentation should be in the form of a letter from one of the following professionals: secondary school administrator (principal, vice principal or guidance person), attorney, family counselor, clergyperson, or social worker and should state their understanding of the lack of relations between the student and noncustodial parent.
