<p>hi guys out there,</p>
<p>I tried to fill my I-20 request form today but was confused about what to fill in some of the fields on the form.</p>
<p>We have to fill the job, loan and grant amounts as assured support for the first year and projected support for the 2nd, third and fourth years. All my costs for the first year are covered by the job, loan and grant amounts.</p>
<p>But, for the projected support, the form asks us to include 5% cost increase per year.
- Does that mean I’ll have to increase all the components (job, loan and grant) by 5% each year?
- Or do I have to increase the TOTAL cost each year by 5%, and adjust the grant amount keeping the job and loan components constant?
- Or instead, is it that I need to keep all the components constant and adjust the increased cost in my self-support component?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,
DEB</p>
