This is the parent whose income will be reviewed when determining eligibility for North Star Promise. If the parent who provides more financial support has remarried as of the date the FAFSA or Minnesota Dream Act is filed, the stepparent’s AGI will also be taken into account when determining eligibility.
Independent students will have the AGI of the student considered for program eligibility. 如果学生已婚, 学生和配偶的总收入必须低于80美元,为了有资格获得北极星承诺奖学金. You can review what makes a student either dependent or independent here.
