 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 5. a. Adjustments of income. In the determination of income for
 5 purposes of paragraphs a and b of subdivision three of section six
 6 hundred sixty-seven of this part if, during the academic year in which
 7 the applicant will receive an award, one of either the parents of the
 8 applicant or other dependent child of such parents, the spouse of the

 12 one of this section shall be reduced by three thousand dollars and an
 13 additional two thousand dollars for each other such person additional to
 14 the aforesaid persons (including the applicant) who will be in such
 15 attendance, and the resulting amount shall be deemed the applicable
 16 income in determining the applicant's award for the academic year.

 20 reported in New York state income tax returns for the prior calendar
 21 year in making adjustments to eligibility and the amount of the award
 22 for the current academic year. The corporation may require such documen-
 23 tary evidence, testimony or affidavits as it deems sufficient in grant-
 24 ing such an adjustment of an award.
