provide convincing justification that you are truly independent of your parent(s) in accordance with at least
one of the conditions cited on our Dependency Override Policies page. See the link below for policies: https://
www.ucmo.edu/sfs/policies.cfm
You must also explain the following circumstances in your appeal:
a. Why your parent(s) are not providing (or will not provide) any financial support for you.
b. Why you’re unable to obtain income and asset data from your parent(s) to complete your 2019/2020
FAFSA.
c. Your living arrangements, particularly how often (summers, weekends, etc.) you reside with your parents.
d. Your personal relationship with your parent(s): how often you visit them, contact them, etc.
e. What kinds and amounts of financial support your parent(s) provide to you (money, food and housing,
payment of your bills, purchase of a vehicle, insurance payments, medical insurance, etc.)
f. What kinds and amounts of financial support you receive from other family members, friends, or
relatives.
2. Letters of support must also be submitted from at least two other adults (only one of which may be a family
member or relative) who know of your circumstances and can attest to the validity of your written appeal. Out
of these two supporting letters, at least one of them must be written by a professional on official letterhead
stationery. Examples of such individuals include, but are not limited to, your high school guidance counselor,
religious leader, Family Services officer, court representative, or social worker.
