Homeless or at Risk of Homelessness

If a student is not under the custody of their parent(s) and is experiencing homelessness or is at risk of becoming homeless, we may be able to assist with their dependency status determination.

After submitting an application for federal student aid (FAFSA), a student may be prompted to submit a homeless review form that will assist us in determining dependency status. Students may be required to submit supporting documentation from their high school officials or other youth specialists who may have assisted in determining a student’s homelessness. Students may contact us directly if they cannot provide supporting documentation.

If a student has been determined to be homeless or at risk of homelessness by a financial aid administrator at a prior college or university, the student can provide documentation of that determination from their prior college or have a financial aid administrator from their prior college email us at fahelp@pima.edu to assist us in this process.
