Hello Kindred. I really can't say for sure. It will vary by person. In know in line 4a, 5a and 6a there is total income listed and then in the associated 4b, 5b and 6b the taxable amount of that amount is listed so you would need to subtract the 2. That being said, there can be other untaxed income that is not included in a tax return. I am not an accountant so it is best if you speak with your parents about this and an accountant.

I’m so glad that you found it useful. That is always my goal every time I post a blog or video.

@@signaturecollegecounseling7197 I look forward to your future posts!

Hello Michael. I'm unsure where you are located or where you are thinking of attending or applying to in the US it is hard for me to say. There are some schools that will give merit funds to international students. Hoping that helps.

@@elizabethlevine4241, I am located in India and was looking for a 1-year scholarship course or psychology course. Can you share me your email i will write to you.

@@sreepurammike Hello Michael. I'm afraid I won't be able to be of help to you for what you are looking for. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavors.

Regular decision is not binding. Hoping that helps Nahom!

Hi Areum. "Need bind" means that a school doesn't consider the financial position of a student at all during the admissions process. Technically, they aren't even supposed to access that part of the student's file. "Need aware" (Not sure what you mean by "Need based" but possibly this is what you mean) is when a student's financial position is considered during the admissions process. This all being said, I am not sure I would trust that any school, especially during these times, will be "Need blind". I go under the assumption that a school is "Need aware" since we cannot prove this otherwise. Hoping that helps.

@@signaturecollegecounseling7197 Oh, thank you for your insight.

So glad!

Hi Karina, You should ask the teacher who is writing your letter of recommendation if a month's lead time works for them (I would think it would but everyone is different and it would depend on their workload) and also ask what information they need in order for them to write you one (e.g., student resume, student autobiography...etc.) I hope this helps.
