As a parent it is your responsibility to provide financially for your child, whether he lives with you or not.

On the FAFSA form, the income of the custodial parent is primarily considered, which is typically the parent with whom the student lives most of the time.

Yes. Most scholarships are based on need, or on student achievement.

If the parent's income is low enough, then a scholarship might be available. The best thing to do is to contact the college to see what they would do for you.
