Non-Custodial Waiver: If you have special circumstances that warrant consideration for your other parent household complete the College Board Non-Custodial Parent Petition Waiver. Please be aware that Bryn Mawr College requires an additional third-party statement signed and on letterhead along with the College Board Waiver.

Federal Aid Only: If you are a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident seeking only Federal financial aid, such as Federal Direct Loan or Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan please submit the FAFSA using Bryn Mawr College Code #003237.
