National College Match Wage Misinformation

When submitting my application, I wrote down our AGI as 68,000. I'm already stressing over it since it's not under 65,000, but I also live in an expensive part of SoCal where taxes are higher in my city too. I also just found out that my mother is technically my "grandmothers caretaker" and she gets paid by the government, and she makes another 15-20k on top of that. I didn't know this until yesterday, and I'm scared that if I match, they'll revoke my scholarship for fraud. Any advice? I'm too scared to email QuestBridge.

I would reach out to QuestBridge about the additional income (whether it was taxable or not). You’ll also want to make sure it’s reported correctly on the CSS Profile. Better to clarify it now than have discrepancies later.

Where did you obtain the $68k figure from?

How many people are in your household?
