If my legal parents are separated/divorced/never married, do I need to include both of their incomes?

The Foundation requires both of the applicant’s legal parents’ financial information for the Cooke Young Scholars Program. The Cooke Foundation considers legal parents to be the applicant’s biological parents, adoptive parents, or legal guardians. If the applicant’s legal parents are married to one another, the financial information provided should be the combined AGI (adjusted gross income) amount for both legal parents. If the legal parent is married to someone other than the applicant’s other biological parent, the step-parent’s financial information should be included. If the applicant’s legal parents are not married to one another or residing together, the other legal parent will complete their own form later in the selection process.
