Non-Custodial Parent Waiver Request

Instructions

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation requires both of the applicant's legal parents to submit Parent Information forms as part of the review process for the Young Scholars Program. Separate parent information forms will be collected if the student's legal parents are not married to one another or do not reside in the same household. The Cooke Foundation considers the legal parents to be the applicant's biological parents, adoptive parents, or legal guardians.

The Cooke Foundation may choose to waive the requirement of the second parent's information form if that parent is incarcerated or their whereabouts are unknown and no contact can be established. Click here and view the "Application Process" section of our website for more information about the waiver process.

Please complete this form to assist us in determining the parent form requirement for your student. This submission does not guarantee a waiver is granted.
