If the parent I don't live with is unwilling to complete the Non-Custodial Parent(s)/Guardian(s) Financial Form, am I still eligible to apply?

Yes, but an explanation of the situation and copies of relevant official documents must be provided with the Family Information Form. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
