These are different since they are directly from the school and based on financial need. I don't think they cap it, they just want a break down of what you make and where your money goes each month. I had to have proof of what I am paying in rent, utilities, internet, tuition, books, and then they give you certain allowances to go visit family during holidays and extra for like misc expenses. I was assessed as needing about $2000 more this semester than what I am making so we will see what if anything comes from this. If I do get a decent amount then I can maybe reduce myself to one job if I can cover expenses that way so I can have more time for school!
