They are asking me to provide an estimate of my income during the summer.....but I haven't gotten a job yet, soooo i'm not sure what to write - if i just write ZERO will that negatively affect my application? - I mean it's supposed to be based on financial need - so they might figure that i'm not gonna be working this summer (which i am - hopefully) and say "well if he's not gonna be working, he probably doesn't need money that much, so we ain't gonna give him any".............so s it okay if i just put "0" where they ask me for the estimate of my income during this summer?

I plan on getting a new job for the summer to make more money. I put down an approximate value of what I expect to be earning even though I don't have that job yet.

Put down 0. At worst you'll have your OSAP adjusted later on.

Or put down $1250, they assume you will make that much.

Why not try to make an estimate at least? Are you doing 40 hours, 20 hours, 10 hours? And at what rate? At least give them a rough basis to go by so that they don't have to adjust it later.

JUST PUT 1250 If you have to change it you go to your financial aid office at the university when you go pick up your OSAP papers.
