Can someone clarify whether siblings are included in the income calculations for the College Bound Scholarship? I'm trying to figure out if my family's household income qualifies with siblings counted.
The College Bound Scholarship program typically determines income eligibility based on the family's size and the total income. In the calculation process, siblings are generally counted as part of the family size. This means if you have a larger household with more dependents, the total income threshold to remain eligible for the scholarship could be higher.
However, each scholarship may use its own specific calculations, so it's important to carefully read the guidelines for the particular scholarship you're considering. Please note that the income thresholds might change every year.
Also, remember that besides income, the College Bound Scholarship might have other eligibility requirements, such as grade point average or citizenship status, so make sure to review all the qualifications.
