2. Ask the administrator what proof of residency, filing, enrollment, age, grade, disability, or income is required.
3. Confirm the current award year, deadline, approved expenses, provider restrictions, and whether funds flow to the family or to the program.
4. Keep receipts, approvals, and the original official instructions with the learning records you use at home.
