(International) Tricky phrasing in the Financial Statement

I’m filling out the financial statement. Question 4 asks if I need financial aid, I answered yes. But then question 5 forces me to write the amount of support I have, with a comment "Amount should be at least 64k). Then, question 6 ask if the answer to question 5 is less than 64k, and I DON’T apply for financial aid (I do), what would I do to support myself.

What the heck? I’ve already said I need aid, and they’re seemingly implying that my family must be able to pay all 64k nonetheless. If my answer in question 5 doesn’t add up to 64k, and I answer yes to aid in question 4, how should I deal with question 6??? What’s the point? If my family can afford to pay all 64k, then I wouldn’t have apply for aid.
