Economic guidelines mandated by the State Education Department of New York are set up according to the number of people in the household. Adjustments are made for families with two workers and one-parent families. Please contact the Financial Aid Office or HEOP at Rose Hill or Lincoln Center for further information. An example from the 2012-13 guideline is: A student from a two-parent family of four would be eligible under the income guideline if the total income during the 2011 calendar year is less than $41,348. Money earned by a student is not included in this guideline unless the student supports or helps support the household.
