Thank you for your interest in the Building Your Future Program. We are eager to get to know you better.

Please complete the following application. Most fields are required to ensure that we get all the information that we need. Please note that there are no right or wrong answers and the information we are collecting is to help us understand you and how we can best serve you.

You will be able to save your work and return to your application, if you need to take a break.

You will need to upload backup documentation to support the information provided in your application. FYF prefers that you provide PDF files rather than photos for all documents to ensure completeness. All bank statements must be provided in PDF form. We are available to help you learn how to download PDF files from your account (a skill you will need during your participation in the program). Please be prepared with the following:

Educational enrollment information, if applicable
2 most recent paystubs or employment offer letter
Housing lease or alternative housing document
Checking account statements, savings account statements, credit card and loan statements, if applicable
Vehicle loan or lease statement, if applicable

If you have any questions about documentation, please reach send an email to [email protected].
