@Darcy123 – I took the numbers off the lines on the tax forms that I was told to use. Our accountant deals with how those numbers are arrived at; I have no doubt that he did it correctly.
Thanks for the link, @kelsmom
@scholardad – Well, there are “fees,” which are about $3k and aren’t covered by the scholly. The cheapest room and board is $10.5k. So about $13.5k, before transportation, incidentals, books, and a computer.
It’s not onerous and we are hugely grateful, But we have another kid in private school and I did want to explore whether it was worth trying for subsidized.
I see now that it really isn’t a legit appeal, so we will focus elsewhere – work, local awards, maybe – to nip away at the edges of the costs.
