Chances of getting a scholarship?

^^One name on the birth certificate doesn’t mean there is not a NCP. It may only mean the parents weren’t married at the time of the birth and that the father didn’t agree or wasn’t available to sign the affidavit at birth. If there is a named bio father, that man can be required to pay support, name on the certificate or not.

Okruth, you have to give your facts to the schools to request the NCP waiver (never married, no support, not listed on BC, no visitation or contact) . If a school will not grant it, ask if you can send the NCP information directly to that school, not through CSS. All they can say is no, and then you’ll have to decide if you want to keep that school on your list and submit the NCP info to CSS, knowing that will open up the information to all schools.
