Any individual applicant whose family income does not exceed two hundred percent of the federal poverty guidelines [please refer to the annual update of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines for 2021 and 2022)].
Any active duty military service member's spouse.
Any honorably discharged veteran who has been discharged not more than two years before application.
