Providing Parent/Spouse Information
Wentworth Institute of Technology adheres to the basic premise that you and your parent(s) or spouse have the primary responsibility for financing your education. Financial aid is intended to assist with the educational expenses that remain after your family's resources have been considered. Therefore, all applicants must provide their parent’s or spouse’s information when completing the FAFSA.
Exceptions to providing parental information will be made for students who can answer "yes" to any of the questions in step three of the FAFSA.
