New Instructions for Applications Involving Applicants with Divorced or Separated Parents
  1. The application must be signed by each parent:
    (a) with whom the applicant resides as a member of that parent’s household;
    (b) who claims the applicant as a deduction on that parent’s tax return; and
    (c) who provides any financial support to the applicant.
    Each parent that qualifies under (a), (b), and/or (c), must also supply financial information, including the required copy of that parent’s tax return.     
  2. If there is joint custody, the application must be signed by each parent and each must supply financial information, including the required copy of each parent’s tax return.

  3. If a parent is obligated by judicial decree to provide support and fails to do so, then that should be noted in the application.

  4. Parents who are divorced, separated, or otherwise involved in a domestic dispute, must understand that the Financial Aid Committee is concerned solely with the welfare of all the applicant children of our community who seek financial assistance for scholarship purposes. While the Financial Aid Committee will maintain its historic policy of confidentiality, it will not be made a participant in any dispute between parents, including, but not limited to, any effort by one parent to conceal information from another parent, or by one parent to embarrass another parent. If an application is filed with the Financial Aid Committee, the Committee has the right to receive and utilize all information it believes necessary or desirable for it to make its determinations. The Financial Aid Committee and its staff shall not be responsible for or liable to any parent or other person regarding or arising out of any information that is supplied or requested involving any application for financial assistance. A submission of an application shall be recognition of the foregoing.

Your completed application is due by January 28, 2026 to be considered for awards for programs in the Summer of 2026 and the academic year 2026-2027.

Any missing information will delay the application process and the ability to make a decision on your behalf. We ask that you complete your application as soon as possible. Award decisions will be made within two weeks of receipt of completed application materials.
