[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the likelihood of receiving financial aid (and enough of it) at DC private high schools to make attending possible?

We are a 2-parent, 1-income family with an elementary age child at home.  I know some schools impute a salary for the non-working parent (though I never in my life made as much as some of the annual tuition costs).

Anyone have a story / financial aid award amount to share?  Thank you![/quote]

Two parent, one income home. I would say the likelihood is very, very high. My kids went to D.C. and Bethesda area private schools. My income was lower than yours. The schools were [b]extremely[/b] generous with their support. 
     This allowed allowed all the kids to graduate from schools that I would never have been able to afford. The support was provided K-12 for each child. The final one graduated HS last year. Don't hesitate to apply, and good luck!

So families that for no good reason choose to not work get FA? How is this right or fair? Why should we (working) parents donate?[/quote]

NP. While this does happen, it is pretty rare. I also think PP isn't being entirely truthful.[/quote]
