[quote=Anonymous]Venting mostly. We are a doughnut hole family. $150,000 taxable income. W&M is $43,000/year in direct costs. And they offered us zero in grants or scholarships. Zero. Federal student loan/work study total is about $3000, which will barely make a dent. DD is a junior. Freshman year she was offered no grant aid, but a bit more in student loans and work study. Last year, she was mercifully given $5000 in institutional grant aid--not sure why she received so much less this year than last since nothing has changed substantially about our financial situation. If we had known how little she would receive in aid, we would have discouraged her from going there. Her experience has not been notably better than her siblings' were at JMU and Mary Washington, which were both significantly less expensive and much more generous with aid. [/quote]
