1. No, for two reasons, one this money is not income it is money that is ear-marked for a specific purpose and secondly, no, because any lump sum of money you get (per year) is called a windfall and does not count--such as one-time lottery winnings, etc.
2. No, students are not eligible for section 8 housing
3. Loans are not income and student's are not eligible for section 8. You cannot honestly expect the taxpayers to pay for BOTH your housing AND school.
