[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be upset that I'm not poor AND was smart and savvy enough to figure out how to get financial aid for my DC.[/quote]

So you steal.[/quote]

Nope. To steal is to take something from someone without their knowledge or consent. I applied for FA, fully disclosed my income and responded to every single question asked of me. I did not lie. I did not hide assets. I did not under report or over report. My DC's school reviewed my application and made me an offer. I accepted. Just because I am not poor does not mean I do not have financial obligations that made me an acceptable candidate for financial aid. Like I said, you might want to take a look at that MEDIAN income chart and ask yourself exactly what does it mean to be poor before you start calling someone "poor" like its a bad word or a disgraceful thing. Check you rich (if you are even rich -- I doubt it) egotistical crap at the door. [/quote]

OK, then you are poor.  Own it.[/quote]

You really think someone paying 15k instead of 40k tuition is poor? Get a grip.

We are paying about $25K and getting about $15K in FA. I wish it were only $15K. LOL.

Sorry, I am pp and was not referring to your situation in particular but more in general talking about fa recipients. According to Sidwell in 2015-2016, 23% of our students will receive financial aid support with an average aid award of $25,708, which covers two-thirds of the average tuition cost.
