Filling out Parent 2 information even though they won't pay (QUESTBRIDGE)

[sybbie719]

Yes, because Questbridge requires the income and assets of both parents.

Financial aid is based on what the school believes your parents can pay, not what they want to pay.

**Financial Qualifications **
Finalists typically come from households earning less than $65,000 annually for a family of four, and often less. This is not a strict cut-off and we encourage students who feel they have faced significant financial hardship to review these financial details carefully to see if they may qualify.

All sources of family income are taken into account, including:

Salaries, wages, and tips
Business and farm income
Rental income
Interest and dividend income
Retirement distributions
Alimony
Child support received

Students with divorced or separated parents must report the income of both biological parents, as non-custodial parent information is taken into consideration by our partners when determining financial need. The only exception is when the student has not had contact with the non-custodial parent for an extended period of time.

All assets held by the family are taken into consideration, including:

Home ownership
Business or farm ownership
Cash and savings
Investments
Additional properties
Individual household circumstances are taken into consideration, including:

The number of people supported by the household income
The number of students in college (undergraduate only)
Unemployment or other changes to the household income
Eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch
Having been in foster care
Other non-discretionary financial commitments, such as high medical bills
