This data cannot be shared again, even with other departments within the college, without the applicant's written permission. FTI is used only for assessing and administering aid within the applicant's cost of attendance. Additionally, this information cannot be discussed with anyone else unless the applicant explicitly agrees. If requested, this form allows the institution to release FTI for specific approved purposes on a case-by case basis.
