[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can afford. One idea to take the $9000 (the merit) out of her bank account as a way of getting “skin in the game” 
She is not a partier, like at all. She is introverted and has a bad case of ADD. She did not take advantage of any of the supports in the school, or what they had to offer. In terms of accommodations, even though she was entitled to some like extended test time. She said socially, She loves it. [/quote]

I'm sorry OP. My DD has some similar issues and this could be her depending on how finals go. She has an A in one class, a B in one, a C in one, and a D, but finals are next week so who knows. I think all but the A could change. I am feeling OK about it because she had serious enough mental health issues in high school that just being at college and doing ok is a massive win. That said, I cannot afford to pay for tuition for classes she fails. We have talked about it and she knows that my expectations right now are passing grades and then she will have to step it up next semester.

I'm impressed that your DD has $9k+ in her bank account (mine definitely does not!), but I don't think I'd take it away from her just yet. Maybe she has to work this summer and make up a certain percentage of the aid she lost? [/quote]
