De La Salle understands that some family situations can be very difficult. In such cases, we may request a letter from a priest, school official, social worker, or attorney confirming that the other biological parent cannot be located or refuses to participate in any aspect of their child’s life. The letter writer cannot be a relative of the applicant. The letter must state the following, as applicable:
The whereabouts of the other biological parent is unknown.
The other biological parent has provided no support and has had no contact with the family for at least two years.
It is in the family’s best interest not to have further contact with the other biological parent.
Any other extenuating circumstances that the individual believes the School should consider.
This letter should be submitted as a document upload with your FACTS online application.
