TREATMENT OF RESOURCES |
|
Legal Reference: 1240-1-4-.15 (D) |
(1) Consider an eligible student’s resources in the same manner as for any other eligible household member. (2) Do not deduct educational expenses from resources. Example: Hester
Prynne is a student at Mossy Tech. She
has $1000 in a savings account from her earnings at a summer job. She uses this money to pay tuition and fees
for her first semester, before she is approved for any student aid. Tuition and fees cannot be deducted from
this resource. Exclude as resources those educational funds unless they are retained after the period of intended use. Example: Hester
now receives non-federal educational grants. Although $1500 is deposited in Hester’s
savings account, do not count it as a resource during the school year. However, if she retains the money after the
last of the school year, it must be counted as a resource at that time. |
