Income Requirements

<p>I've been asked about this program and after reading the website, I'm still unsure of the answers. </p>

<p>When determining if a family's INCOME is within the $60,000 limit, are they talking AGI? Many/most people with jobs have insurance premiums, retirement plan contributions and possibly other deductions taken out of their gross pay. Is one eligible with an AGI under $60,000 or are these deductions added back in? </p>

<p>Would having large medical bills (yr after yr) matter?</p>

<p>What about assets? FAFSA doesn't consider home ownership. Would owning a home disqualify someone from Questbridge?</p>

<p>A friend told me her son's guidance counselor said he had to have a 0 EFC in order to qualify so he was told not to bother applying. I'm not sure if that's true...</p>

<p>There’s a Questbridge sub-forum in financial aid. You might want to ask there.</p>

<p>oops. thanks.</p>
