[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much are students vs parents expected to contribute? FWIW my parents paid $0. My wealthy father wasn’t factored into financial aid bc he contributed nothing to college or much else for that matter except my step mom and step kids. Mom took out a small loan which I paid back within 2 years of graduating. All the rest was me (loans, work study and summer jobs), scholarships and a little financial aid. I know times are different but there must still be a line item on financial aid that separates parent versus student financial contributions.[/quote] See the thread of the mother who was complaining about her daughter not being "grateful" (the girls step father is really wealthy, but the mom didn't think it was his place to pay for college and unfortunately, it meant that her daughter didn't qualify for aid either). She really screwed her daughter big time. [/quote]
