Thank you for your interest in Yale!
Yale believes that both of a student’s parents have a responsibility to contribute toward their child’s education; however, we understand that certain extenuating circumstances may require an exception to this policy.
The Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition and instructions for completing this form can be found here: Forms for Undergraduate Financial Aid | Undergraduate Financial Aid. Please note that submitting a Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition does not guarantee its approval. The petitions are reviewed by the financial aid office, and a student is notified if it is approved. The petition, along with a third-party letter that attests to the information provided on the petition can be submitted via IDOC: https://pages.collegeboard.org/idoc.
Best of luck!
Sincerely,
Yale Undergraduate Financial Aid
