[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a lower middle class recipient of FA, I would like to point out the FA is not just for the family and child; the reason the top schools give generous financial aid is to attract students who can make a big contribution to their communities bringing diversity (racial, ethnic, cultural and economic), high intellect, leadership capacities, empathy and in some cases special talents and abilities.  If the community did not have such students the learning environment would not be as good for all students.[/quote]

Can I ask you what your HHI is and what % of FA do you get?[/quote.   This is for Upper School. Our income is about 95k I realize on the real world this is not lower middle class but it is in the world of the Big 3.  We get about 65 percent FA it has increased each year as tuition has gone up. We live on a lower income part of Maryland. Our house is worth about 300 k.  Our DC is now a senior and has been accepted to a great college EA. Another college has offered a full tuition scholarship. We have another child also on FA in a different school. I know I will get critiqued for saying this but although we are thankful for the great education DC has gotten, DC has done an amazing amount for the school. The
School was lucky to have DC. DC is a campus leader with an demonstratable impact on several aspects of the school winning several prestigious awards during past years. [/quote]
