Note about the following information request:
When a family income loss occurs late in the academic year, it may be determined that the income estimate should be based upon a twelve-month period that more closely approximates the academic year calendar. Please determine family income for the period specified below. Unlike the calendar year estimate, where data for January–December was requested, for the following award year estimate, we ask for income later in the year, from June of the first year through May of the following year. Please estimate this information as carefully as possible. According to your circumstance, we will choose which income information should be the basis for your analysis of need.
