Please attach a detailed statement that clearly outlines and explains the unusual circumstances that you

believe make it inappropriate for you to provide parental information on the FAFSA. Be sure to sign and date
this narrative.
Submit a signed and dated Independent Verification Tracking Group V1 Worksheet and all required
❑
documentation.
Submit three signed and dated letters substantiating and documenting the existence of your unusual
