<p>Last year (Fall 2010/Spring 2011) I applied for the BOG Waiver and FAFSA. I was lucky enough to be awarded both. This year (Fall 2011/Spring 2012) I'll be applying again for both.</p>
<p>From the FAFSA, I got a Pell Grant. On the BOG Waiver, it asks for Adjusted Gross Income and All Other Income, such as (exact quote taken from the website): "(Include ALL money received in 2010 that is not included in line a above, such as disability, child support, military living allowance, Workman's Compensation, untaxed pensions. If your other income was $1,000,000 or more, please enter 999999.)". I'm assuming this means the FAFSA money I received as well? It doesn't specifically say financial aid, which is why I'm second guessing.</p>
<p>I called up my school and asked the financial aid department, but the kid on the phone didn't really help.</p>
<p>Also, on the FAFSA application, there isn’t a box for me to list any aid I received from the previous year (Fall2010/Spring2011). </p>
<p>The closest I could find was a box labeled, “Grant and scholarship aid reported to the IRS”, but I never reported my Pell Grant to the IRS because the school specifically stated there wasn’t any financial paperworkit states “Student grant and scholarship aid reported to the IRS in your adjusted gross income. Includes AmeriCorps benefits (awards, living allowances, and interest accrual payments), as well as grant and scholarship portions of fellowships and assistantships”. The thing is, I never reported any Pell Grant money to the IRS, because the majority of it was used on school and school related stuff. Plus the school itself said there was no financial paperwork to send me (this came from a person in administration, not a kid in the financial aid office).</p>
