Income vs. Resource
The Higher Education Act of 1965 provides the basic rules and regulations governing Federal financial aid requests using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is used to apply for federal loans, grants, and work study. In addition, some schools use the FAFSA to award non federal aid.
? Income is money you have coming in each month from a job, dividends, child support, etc.
? Resources are funds that you may have access to, but aren't considered monthly income. These include VA education benefits under chapters 1606, 1607, 30, 32, 35, Section 903, REPS, ROTC (title 10 chapter 2), ROTC (title 37 chapter 2), and chapter 31 Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment benefits.
? A common mistake is to include resources as income on FAFSA forms.
? Listing resources in the income section can reduce your need-based financial aid amount.
? Do not include VA educational benefits on the income section of the FAFSA.
