Do I need to include all or partial social security numbers or banking account numbers on the documentation I upload?
No! We do not need any of this information to calculate your award package. So we encourage you to delete or otherwise block your social security number, bank account, or other sensitive information, where possible. Our application process is fully secure, but it’s good practice to share this highly sensitive personal information as little as possible.
Do we only include debt or savings/assets documentation that is solely in our name, or also those where we have parents or others as secondary?
You should include all statements and assets/debts where you are the primary holder, regardless of whether there are any secondary holders. If you share a bank statement with anyone else, be that a parent or a partner, we will take this into account when you determine your individual financial picture. If you think any statements with multiple names on it needs further explanation, you can include it in the “additional information” box at the end of your application.
I am married or have a partner who is part of my financial document. Do I need to flag this somewhere?
If you apply as an independent and there is another individual on your tax or other financial forms, we will split the amount on the documentation as we calculate your need-based package. If there is any reason the amounts listed on your documentation should not be split evenly, include the context in the comments section of your application.
