Will my Financial Aid Package change?

So I’m wondering, will Northwestern see my CSS non custodial parent form and give me less of a good financial aid package?

What form are you talking about? If your dad completed the Noncustodial Profile it will get sent to all your schools.

Northwestern doesn’t base their aid on just the custodial parent. They require the NCP. They don’t grant waivers because parents don’t want to pay or are no longer legally required to support the student. Unless you got a waiver your dad has to submit it. If he doesn’t, no aid will be disbursed.

You need to find out what the waiver request you sent to Northwestern said and what the status of the request is. You’re responsible for the information and if it’s incomplete or inaccurate you’ll be required to repay any money you receive. When you file a waiver for sophomore year they’ll review all the information and if they determine you shouldn’t have gotten aid as a freshman your account will be put on hold until you pay them back. So it’s in your best interest to understand what each college needs to know about your finances and make sure they have an accurate accounting of it.
