Financial Aid

Parent Supplement

The Parent Supplement* provides income, asset, and special circumstance information that we take into account when reviewing your aid eligibility.

Deadline: March 2nd

The custodial parent(s) must complete and return the Parent Supplement to the Financial Aid Office. This three-page form allows us to review the student's eligibility for Oxy need-based scholarships, loans, and work study. 

Avoid Common Errors

  • Include all members of the household in the chart. The members of the household should match the number reported on the FAFSA.
  • Make sure to answer all questions on the chart regarding the children and parent(s) college enrollment status, if applicable. 
  • Report the parent(s) asset information as consistently as possible to what was reported on the FAFSA. If there are significant changes in the parent(s) asset information between the time the FAFSA and Parent Supplement are completed, notify us in writing.
  • If any of the special circumstances listed on the third-page apply, make sure to submit documentation. Not submitting documentation for loan repayment amounts, private elementary/secondary tuition costs, or medical/dental expenses could cause a delay in the review of the student's file.
