[quote=Anonymous]I was mentoring a DCPS high school student and her counselor told her not to apply for a scholarship because she was not eligible. I read the instructions and it was not clear to me if she was or not--it was ambiguous. I told her to apply and she won thousands and thousands of dollars. This same counselor literally laughed at her when she said where she hoped to go to school. It was true it was out of her reach, but she did not know any better, and she was basically just told to try for UDC. I helped her apply to various schools and she got into a good one with a huge amount of financial aid awarded to her. I can't even imagine what it would be like if a counselor was giving other kinds of advice. I don't know what a parents' rights are in this situation and I would be really interested to know.
