Financial Aid & Absent Father

<p>Is Barnard a Fafsa only school, or do they also require the CSS Profile?</p>

<p>If it is a Fafsa only school you will list the resources of your custodial parent (your mother). I believe she will need to list the child support payment she HAS received from your father, but his assets will not be listed on the Fafsa.</p>

<p>If it is a CSS Profile school you will likely need to also list his resources on the Profile form (if they are required).</p>

<p>I looked… it appears Barnard is a Profile school… They have extensive information on their financial aid website. <a href=“http://www.barnard.edu/finaid/policies.html[/url]”>http://www.barnard.edu/finaid/policies.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It appears they will require income and asset information from your father in order to calculate aid. However, I do not believe you would put this information on the Fafsa… ONLY on the Profile.</p>
