<p>I have a question as how much money you make per year is considered by UCs as low income…</p>

<p>My parents’ combined income per year is about 42,000 I believe… is this low income?</p>

2

<p>low income is 15, 000 a year</p>

3

<p>It depends on how many dependents your parents have.</p>

4

<p>pxalpine: how many dependents?</p>

<p>you will def qualify for a cal grant i believe</p>

5

<p>Can anyone tell me what a dependent is??</p>

6

<p>dependants are people who depend on your parents for source of income.</p>

7

<p>Well there are 2 dependents then I guess... me and my brother.</p>

<p>My brother is already at college (UCD) so this is eating away a lot of our money..</p>

<p>oh that bro at college will help, they will factor in that you have 2 kids at college. maybe ask someone on the board in a similar situation? (2 kids at same time)</p>

<p>i wouldn't know because i'm the oldest, lol</p>
