Well they ask on the common college app and they're more forgiving for bad grades etc etc if your parents never went to college and have shit jobs

You know there's more scholarships and whatnot for first generations in college

Just tell the truth. Lying could seriously get you disqualified. Besides, you need to send in tax returns and stuff for financial aid..

It won't make much difference.  If you're using FAFSA, they take everything in consideration.
