CSS Profile (question about educational fees)

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I have a problem with the CSS Profile. They are asking the following:"How much are/were the educational fees (tuition and other educational charges) for this person for the 2010-11 academic year? "
But in the explanation, it is said that this only refers to tuition charging schools ("If this person attended a tuition-charging school, college, or university, enter or estimate the total educational fees for 2010-11, including tuition and fees and books and supplies. ")
So shall I enter 0 because my brother (to whom this question refers) does not attend a tuition charging school? I am confused because we nevertheless have costs for books and supplies!!</p>

<p>Thank you !!!!!</p>

<p>Why not just enter the cost of books and supplies?</p>
