How do you think reception will be of a student looking for financial need scholarships with one parent who makes a fairly large sum of money and another who makes a fairly small sum?

Most of the time, this will even out, as admins are looking at “household income,” meaning a total of both parents’ incomes. You may still be in financial need if you have a funding gap that your parents can’t fill, and you can’t afford with part-time work alone.
