[quote=Anonymous]I've heard cases - if receiving a better financial aid package at a comparable school - of faxing the financial aid award letter and a school (private) matches it. Haven't heard it re: a public. Haven't heard of a public matching another's scholarship/or merit aid. Unfortunately, full pay should always be anticipated with any break in tuition (scholarship/merit aid) as a sweetener. Op, I know this is so frustrating. Unfortunately, you also have to consider: -that costs will rise and scholarship may not keep pace. -if the scholarship is gpa dependent, the gpa may not be met in the future. And it may not be entirely the student's fault. As parents we have no information re: grade distribution in various classes. The college does, we don't. Your student shouldn't have the stress of needing to keep a certain gpa to continue at that university. IMO -seems like everything ends up costing more than anticipated.[/quote]
