4. Determination of Family Income

Method of calculating family income, including income and possible deductions to establish financial eligibility.

The annual family income will be calculated by adding all sources of gross income of the computable family members during the fiscal year prior to the scholarship application.

• Computable Members:
  • The parents or guardians of the student
  • The student himself and his/her siblings under 26 years old, or older if they have a recognized degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%
  • Other dependents who live in the home and appear on the income tax return
• Income Thresholds:

For the Space Camp Valencia scholarship program, a series of family income thresholds are established

These thresholds are:

• Family of 1 member: 23,874 €
• Family of 2 members: 38,888 €
• Family of 3 members: 51,068 €
• Family of 4 members of more: 60,574 €

These thresholds ensure that scholarships are distributed to the families who truly need support, facilitating access to the camp for young people with a passion for space.

• Verification Process:
  • The Verification of the family income will be realized through telematic consultations with the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT), always with the prior authorization of the interested parties.
  • If there are any discrepancies or lack of information, additional documentation may be required from the applicants.
• Special Cases:
  • For families that do not submit a declaration of IRPF because they are not obligated to do so, the income data from AEAT will be used or income certificates will be requested.
  • Particular situations such as shared custody of children will be considered to determine which parent's income will be considered and the composition of the family unity.
