Foster Care and Legal Guardianship Verification
If on your
FAFSA application you responded “yes” to the question, “At any time since you turned 13, were both of your parents deceased; were you in foster care; or were you a dependent or ward of the court?”, you must provide documentation of your status to complete your FAFSA application.
Your
campus's financial aid office and
campus foster youth program will request proof of your foster care or legal guardianship status. Ask your social worker to provide you with a copy of your
Ward of the Court letter in advance to prevent a delay in receiving aid.
