Request for 2025 Application Information

I was raised by multiple caregivers. Who should I consider when answering this question? Please list the highest education level obtained among all of the adult caregiver(s) with whom you lived most up to age 18.

For example, if you were raised by your grandparent who did not complete high school and a parent who earned an Associates degree, you would select "Two year degree/some college".

Should I consider my sibling(s)? No, you should not consider the education of your sibling(s).

Should I consider the education level of a biological parent who was not one of my primary caregivers? No, you do not need to consider the education level of a biological parent who did not serve as one of your primary caregivers for a significant part of your childhood (up to age 18).

Should I consider grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins or other extended family members? You would only consider extended family members if they were your primary caregiver for a signficant part of your childhood (up to age 18). You do not need to consider extended family members who assisted your parent(s)/guardian(s) with childcare while your primary caregiver was temporarily not available (for example, while your primary caregiver was at work).

I do not know the highest education level of my primary caregiver(s) - how should I answer this question? Please select "Unknown".

Is it OK to skip this question? Yes! You are not required to answer this optional question.
