If the school is a Profile School, it’s very likely that they will request the non-custodial parent info.
This student can also look for Profile schools that do not require the non-custodial parent form. Another option.
If the college uses ONLY the FAFSA…and the parent is separated or divorced…the college is not going to ask for non-custodial parent info unless they use their own form that asks for non-custodial parent information.
