Both parents, including those in a noncustodial role, need to fill out the <a href="https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CSS Profile</a>, submit their federal tax returns, and W-2 forms. This information should also be submitted through the College Board’s secure <a href="https://pages.collegeboard.org/idoc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDOC platform</a>. Students who believe that it is impossible to provide parental information may submit the <a href="https://sfs.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/css-profile-waiver-request-non-custodial-parent.pdf">Noncustodial Profile Waiver Request form</a> through <a href="https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org/idoc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDOC</a>. Waivers are reviewed once a student has been admitted to the Institute, along with the rest of your financial aid application. Please note that the Noncustodial Profile will remain in the financial aid requirements checklist as a required document until your waiver request is reviewed. If you have trouble submitting financial information because of a previous or ongoing separation or divorce please <a href="http://sfs.mit.edu/contact/">contact us</a>, we can help.

This is nothing to be concerned about, and if the verification information matches the information we have already received, it will not have any impact on your financial aid.

MIT provides financial aid to all qualifying families regardless of an applicant’s citizenship status. Undocumented and DACA students are able to apply for financial aid as non-U.S. citizens, and we will meet 100% of your demonstrated need to meet the full cost of attending MIT, including tuition, housing, dining, books, and personal expenses. </p>For undocumented and DACA students, your <a href="https://sfs.mit.edu/undergraduate-students/our-approach-to-aid/understanding-your-offer">financial aid</a> will only include an MIT Scholarship, which is considered a grant that does not need to be repaid.

There is no need to ask for an extension—just submit your application as quickly as possible. Late applicants will receive their financial aid decision later than those who submit by the <a href="http://sfs.mit.edu/undergraduate-students/apply-for-aid/deadlines/">deadline</a>, but we try to review all applications as quickly as possible. <p>There are no penalties for late applications. However, financial aid applications must be received before the end of the academic year, in order to be considered for aid in that academic year. For most students, that is mid-May. For those only attending in the fall, you must submit your aid application by mid-December.

We will continue to count siblings in college, so you will likely not experience any changes. If you were eligible for a Pell Grant in the past and it was reduced due to FAFSA Simplification, we will replace this with a grant to meet 100% of demonstrated need. You can get a sense of how much federal student aid you may be eligible for, with the <a href="https://studentaid.gov/aid-estimator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Student Aid Estimator</a>.

The difference is that a negative SAI indicates that a student has a higher need than a student with 0 SAI. This information can be used to prioritize how other grants with limited funding are distributed to students. The <a href="https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/fseog" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant</a> is an example of where a negative SAI may be considered. However, schools cannot award more financial aid than the total cost of attendance, so a negative SAI does not increase the amount of aid that students receive. </div> <li class="faq-list__item"> <a class="faq-list__link collapsed" href="faqs/my-fafsa-reflects-that-i-have-provisional-independent-status-what-does-that-mean">My FAFSA reflects that I have provisional independent status, what does that mean?</a> </li> <div class="faq-list__text faq__text-mod collapsed"> If you indicate that you have an unusual circumstance when you fill out your FAFSA, but do not have all the required documentation, you will be granted provisional independent status.
