- legally granted refugee or asylum status and are separate from their parents, or their parents are displaced in a foreign country
- parental abandonment or estrangement and have not been adopted
- abusive or threatening environment or
- student or parental incarceration and contact with parents would pose a risk to the student.
Provisional Independent Status
Beginning with the 2024-25 Award Year, both first-time and renewal applicants who indicate on their FAFSA form that they have an unusual circumstance will be granted provisional independent status. They will be able to complete the form without providing parental information. They will also receive an estimate of their federal student aid eligibility, which will be subject to a final determination by the institution they attend. If a student's institution approves their unusual circumstances, their independent status will carry over when they renew their FAFSA form in future award years, and they will be considered independent for as long as they remain at the same institution and their circumstances remain unchanged.
