As colleges and universities welcome and enroll refugee students on campus, they are also building campus awareness and policies to support some of the unique challenges they may face. This webinar aims to advance the understanding of higher education practitioners, especially financial aid administrators, as to the circumstances of refugees and therefore how to best support them in completing their financial aid applications. It will especially focus on refugees without parents in the United States and when a dependency override is needed. Campus professionals will share their experiences supporting refugee students, without parents in the U.S., in completing FAFSA, submitting documentation required for a dependency override, and any institutional policies to support refugee students in the process.
