[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YOU shouldn't be doing anything. Your child should be doing it. This is his education, not yours. He is an adult now. He does it.[/quote] I worked in FA at a private (where we worked closely with the Admission Office). I never heard from incoming students regarding appeals of initial merit or other aid, just the parents, the payers. [/quote] +1. My kid did all the communicating with the school except on merit aid amount. We did that. We have the 529s and savings accounts in our names, we filled out the FAFSAs and we are paying the bills. We did this twice. 2 kids. Two different schools, both gave us more aid. Cringe all you want, merit aid is nothing more than a discount and $6k x 4 years is $24k. So, it’s worth it. [/quote]
