<p>My son is a senior. He got a $2000 scholarship in summer 2009 doing lab research. </p>
<p>In CSS, for SD-110 'How much did you or will you receive in scholarships, grants, and
gift aid during the 2009-10 academic year?', I put in '2000'.</p>
<p>Do I also need to put the same amount under SI-125G 'Enter the income you earned or expect to earn from work in 2009' ? He has no other income besides the $2000.
Or should I put '0' under SI-125G?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>I don’t know, but it seems pretty obvious that it’s one or the other. Otherwise they’ll “double dip” you. It’s a scholarship, NOT work. I’m sure it would be zero. BUt…I’ll just bump so someone who KNOWS can answer you.</p>
<p>You are right. Thank you!</p>
<p>However, I’ve already sent CSS to three colleges. </p>
<p>Do you know how to make corrections to those three colleges?</p>
<p>I guess when I’m done with the 2009 tax return, I need to send it and the W-2s. At that time, I’ll also send the CSS corrections.</p>
<p>sorry to ask a question…how long did it take you to complete the CSS? I’m an international and am having a hard time figuring all this out (I’m having to do most of it, as my parents don’t understand English well)</p>
<p>It took me several hours. Once you have all the forms and numbers, it’s not too bad at all.</p>
<p>jxh: I’m new to this, so this may be a stupid question, but if the question pertains to the “2009-2010 academic year,” is the summer of 2009 part of the 2009-2010 academic year (which I think of as starting in September 2009) or part of the “2008-2009 academic year?”</p>
<p>I think the CSS asked about the student 2009 income. Not the income in 2009-2010 academic year.
Correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>Sorry, SD-110 ‘How much did you or will you receive in scholarships, grants, and
gift aid during the 2009-10 academic year?’. So it does ask about the 2009-10 academic year. I do think summer 2009 belongs to 2009-10 academic year though.</p>
<p>If that’s the case, do I need to put the same amount under SI-125G since it asked about the income for 2009?</p>
<p>How about double dipping?</p>
<p>I’m confused.</p>
<p>Is it normal that most of these slots are “0” ??</p>
<p>Powerbomb, last year I counted how many of mine were 0. I can’t remember the exact number, but it was over 100.</p>
