+1. But is not fraudulent by itself. It’s fraudulent because the criteria is not fully disclosed nor the recipients.

This black family is full pay for two kids at our private school, and rightfully so. We don’t even apply for FA. Would be bad form for us to do so and, frankly, we’d prefer to avoid being a “FA-family” given the stereotypes that attach to folks in our social position (and that others need think nothing of!).

I hear you, but I’m white and please understand that some people will always doubt your right to be in certain spaces. Perhaps you are “full pay” rich, but then the question is, how did you get in that position? Who gave you whatever job or admission to whatever school that put you on such track? Not saying this is most people, but it’s talk that I hear on a non infrequent basis.

Let's be clear - there are far more white families on financial aid in private schools than families of color. Financial aid is about finances, not race. Hence the name. And there are plenty of people, white people, who can afford full tuition and are not paying it because they have negotiated financial aid. Have an honest talk with any financial aid office.


When you have race-based financial aid this is the expected result.

It would be better with merit or need based financial aid.

An upper class middle family that owns a house, has 2 cars, and goes on vacations abroad every years does not need financial aid.

Well it is disguised as need-based aid but there is a large racial component and the families game the system to maximize their aid eligibility.

Yep - wish “they” had their own schools.

Please be clear about how you know this. Provide a link if you can.

You do the same for claims of race-based financial aid decisions.

Well private schools are free to use race in admissions and financial aid decisions and they do. This is well known.

It's literally illegal as of 6/29/23.

No that only applies to universities/colleges that receive federal funding, which is pretty much all of them.

K-12 schools are still able to use race in admissions and financial aid decisions. Why do you think it is still on the application?

Nope! Untrue. Independent schools cannot maintain 501(c)(3) status unless race plays no role in admissions and financial aid decisions.

Wrong again.

That is from 1981 civil rights act and doesn’t apply to affirmative action / DEI modern practices.

The recent Supreme Court case that impacted colleges has zero impact on private K-12 school.

No! The majority in SFFA v. Harvard reaffirmed that anything that violates the Equal Protection Clause also violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

“'We have explained that discrimination that violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment committed by an institution that accepts federal funds also constitutes a violation of Title VI.'” Gratz v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 244, 276, n. 23 (2003)."

If you violate Title VI, you cannot maintain tax exempt status.

Lawyer here. It is cute you think that. No private K-12 schools have changed practices as a result of the recent supreme court decision.

Also a lawyer. Virtually every institution that ever had "DEI" written anywhere on its website has massively changed its practices since this decision.

If you don't like how your school dispenses aid:

1)withdraw your kids OR

2)become a Head of School or Director of aid or at the very least a board member and make this your public crusade.

Please don't mansplain to us. Your post was actually the ugliest one.

And which post is that?

That one telling us exactly what we need to do with our feelings.

Your feelings are your feelings. But they are not factors universal truths. And sending your kids to private school doesn’t make you an expert on private schools. Own your feelings and your opinions as just that.

I would not send my kids to private school unless I was full pay. I know some people are okay with financial aid, but this doesn’t operate like colleges. The schools all have limited budgets, small sized programs, and the money really does come from your peers. As an adult you should feel responsible for your own kids.

Your school chooses to give FA. You don’t like it. Oh well.

It is a form of charity. It irks us when people hide assets or take cushy low effort jobs so they can qualify for financial aid and get a discount. It isn’t a discount. It is charity, plain and simple.

I know for a fact that several moms in our school do not work in order to avoid loosing financial aid. But this is something that happens all the time with social welfare. Is the aid is too generous, reduces the incentive to work.

[Anonymous]

What in fact the school calls financial aid is not really financial aid, it’s called Third-degree price discrimination. That is when a firm charges different prices to different groups of customers for the same or similar product, based on observable characteristics.

This is a strategy designed to maximize revenue since you are charging each customer according to their willingness to pay. The poorer families pay less, the richer families pay more through donations. Nothing well intentioned or good is attached to “financial aid”.

This is a strategy designed to maximize revenue since you are charging each customer according to their willingness to pay. The poorer families pay less, the richer families pay more through donations. Nothing well intentioned or good is attached to “financial aid”.

Nope. Wrong. They have more than enough full pay families due to very low admissions rates. This keeps getting debunked over and over again. Unless it is a failing school that can’t fill their seats, this doesn’t apply.

Im the DMV, financial aid is actually a form of charity to help the less fortunate get through hardship.
