For example, if you expect to make $6,000 in summer work, but only plan to use $4,000 toward your college costs, put $4,000. If your family has saved $40,000 for college, but you are only going to use $10,000 for school this year, then put $10,000 in your worksheet.

Many applications are rejected because the two financial columns do not equal each other. You must add up the resources column and enter a total.

Caregiving is a challenging and demanding role at any age. In addition to the time investment, a 2017 Caring.com survey found that 38 percent of caregivers spend more than 30 hours a week caring for their loved one- caregiving can also be a financial drain.  Among survey respondents, 44 percent of caregivers spend at least $5,000 per year to care for their loved one, with 25 percent spending over $10,000 annually. These challenges can be exacerbated for young caregivers in school, who already face financial constraints and busy schedules while pursuing an education.
