Here is what USC requires.

“Applicants who do not have any contact with their noncustodial parent, may submit a request to the Financial Aid Office to waive submission of that parent’s financial information. The Noncustodial Parent Waiver/Appeal Form is available through the youSC portal (you.usc.edu). In addition, applicants will be required to submit a statement from a third party who can verify the student’s relationship with their noncustodial parent.
Applicants will gain access to the youSC portal after the USC Office of Admission has confirmed receipt of their Common Application and USC Writing Supplement.”

Once you fill out the waiver online, you can upload a letter from a third party. We used a letter from a family friend who has known me for 30+ years and my daughter since birth. (Some schools don’t let you use family friends but USC does).
