*Total Taxable Income:
| Taxable income from 2009-2010 FAFSA (adjusted gross income if tax filer: #36 independent, #86 dependent; or total wages if non-filer: #39 & #40 independent, #89 & #90 dependent) | |
| + | Total Untaxed Income from 2009-2010 FAFSA (untaxed income: #47 a-j independent, #95 a-i dependent) |
| - | Income Exclusions from 2009-2010 FAFSA (additional financial information: #46 a-e independent, #94 a-e dependent) |
| = | Total Family Income |
**Family Size = Household size derived from FAFSA and used for other financial aid programs
***For Family Size greater than 13, contact OHE for instructions.
In some instances, the maximum award shown can be increased by 10% to compensate for higher infant care costs. See instructions under "Adjustments to Maximum Award Table for Infant Care" in the Procedures section of the MN Office of Higher Education Financial Aid Manual.
To determine maximum award per eligible child for comparison to actual costs per eligible child each term, divide the appropriate annual award above by 2 (semesters) or 3 (quarters) and prorate the results on a per-credit basis for students enrolled for fewer than 15 credits. For example, the maximum award for a student with an income of $22,500 and family size of 2 enrolled for 13 semester credits would be $2,194 annual / 2 semesters = $1,097 X 13/15 = $951
