Tips for a Smooth Application
1. Enter Your Income Confidently
Don’t stress about knowing your exact annual gross income — just estimate honestly.
- Working part-time or on campus? Add up your yearly earnings.
- Expecting a job or internship? Include that too.
- Supported by parents or guardians? You can count that as income as well.
The goal: give a realistic snapshot of your finances — it doesn’t need to be exact.
2. Parent or Guardian Can Apply
If you don’t qualify on your own, your parent or guardian can apply directly through your GIVE Profile.
They’ll use their information — no separate account needed.
3. Match Your Legal Info
Enter your name and address exactly as they appear on your ID and bank account to avoid hiccups.
