The Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) identifies students who qualify for federal student aid in the form of grants, work-study funds, and loans. Students experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity may need to take a couple of extra steps, but it is worth their time to fill out the application.
After answering that you are homeless or at risk of becoming so, you do not have to provide your parents’ or guardians’ financial information. You also do not need a living address, but you do need a mailing address of a friend or relative who can receive mail for you.
You may also need to provide documentation confirming your homeless status. Examples of those who can confirm this include the homeless liaison at your high school, an employee of a homeless youth center, or someone in an official role who knows your housing status.

To obtain scholarships you must register on our website and be interviewed by one of our college planning professionals.
Why? (1)Because some information regarding these schools may have changed. (2) Many of the scholarships on this site are private and thus the contributor request that we "interview" applicants and (3) Information used in your personal "interview" is used to provide "gifting" and levering to maximize lowering your college price tag. (4) Many top-tier colleges prefer that we only send them students we have "interviewed" in our company. They see this as a win-win for the student, parent, and college!
