[quote=Anonymous]Of course white people get financial aid.  Just as African Americans can't write the full amount of the tuition, I guarantee that there are whites who are in the same boat.  That's why I find the OP's question rather ridiculous.

I am a middle-class African American and write a big fat check for $27,000 to offset a $34,000 tuition bill.  I am grateful for the extra financial aid as every pennny counts.

I am not sure if there was any underlying meanings behind OP's question as my crystal ball is cracked. So, I will give OP the benefit of the doubt.  Yes, absolutely yes, white people DO receive financial aid.

Simple math calculations at our school would confirm this because the amount of African American's at our school (plus the small sprinkling of other minorities) divided by the financial aid fund would not only pay full tuition for ALL minorities but provided Mercedes to drive for every minority parent.  I do not have a FULL grant nor did the school see fit to provide luxury transportation.

So, the additional monies are going to other NEEDY families and NOT returned to the school fund.  This includes white families.[/quote]
