  Understanding the Form

  Box 1: Total amount of payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses from all sources during the calendar year. The amount reported is the total amount of payments received less any reimbursements or refunds made during the calendar year that relate to the payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses during the same calendar year. The amount reported includes payments of past-due qualified tuition or related expenses from a previous calendar year if the educational institution previously billed the student for such amount(s). The amount in Box 1 will not necessarily equal charges paid during the calendar year as qualified tuition and related expenses excludes various fees such as parking permits and fines, housing and related fees, library fines and athletic tickets.

  Box 2: Blank.

  Box 3: Blank.

  Box 4: Reductions in charges made for qualified tuition and related expenses made during the calendar year.

  Box 5: Total amount of all scholarships, grants, sponsorship and waivers administered by the university during the calendar year. All types of gift money are included regardless of whether or not they paid a qualified tuition and related expense.
