	{

		cin >> income;
		if (income <= 15000)

	}
//	else // you don't need anything after the else here.
// If you do then use this
	else if (answer == "No") // char is a single like 'Y' strings are like "No"
	{
		cout << "You do not qualify for financial aid. ";

@SamuelAdams should include the <string> header.

[SamuelAdams]

A C-string, which consists of an array of characters terminated by the null character '\0', and which therefore is different from an ordinary array of characters. There is a whole library of functions for dealing with strings represented in this form. Its header file is <cstring>. In some implementations this library may be automatically included when you include other libraries such as the <iostream> library.

else if (income > 15000)

There is no need for this line,

else

alone will do the trick.
