One solution is to decrease the huge financial aid budget.  Currently SFS has $7 million annual FA budget; 23% of students receive FA and the average FA award is $ 26900.  Certain amount of FA is good and necessary to attain the talents and maintain a diversified student body.  But such a large amount the school currently gives out is not necessary, in particular when many full pay hard working families are struggling with the increase.  I thnks the teachers  deserve to receive good benefits and an increase in salary, but many families on FA do not deserve.  SFS should have no issue to maintain a good diversified student body with significant cut to the FA budget.[/quote]

The school has made diversity and particularly economic diversity a priority. Having a large FA pool reflects that value.

Good luck trying to change it.

The school has put emphasis on racial diversity and economic diversity at the lower SES side of the scale.  Unfortunately, that diversity notion doesn't extend to the middle class, who are getting squeezed out.[/quote]
