<p>Dartmouth looks at the income and assets of both parents. They are upfront about this in their financial aid handbook for students and parents</p>
<p>You are a student in the middle of a hard situation that you did not cause and that is bad. Unfortunately, it is a situation that we see all too often . Colleges look at the parents ability to pay. Not what they want to pay or what they court order tells them that they have to pay. I was just at an info session yesterday at a selective school and they were straight up front about the 3 and only 3 situations that they would not consider not counting a non-custodial parents income; a fort order barring the first are t access to the.child due to a use a recent police report citing abuse and the threat of future abuse and incarceration, with documentation from the prison The school was. Dry upfront t with the fact that while they are still need blind and will still meet 100% demonstrated need with only a small subsidized loans for low income students that they do not have a Harvard endowment. </p>
