[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think only the big 3 or big 5 have the budgets to dole out financial aid to anyone with hhi over 250k. Last year I kept reading threads like this and showed them to my husband. We have income at 225 so went ahead and applied for aid at our smallish private school in VA. All we got was $3000. That's nothing and so not even worth the amount of documentation we had to submit. We will not be reapplying as the amount was so insignificant and I'm sure someone at the school is chuckling because we give 2500 per year to the annual fund and also buy stuff at the school auction so we're mortified by what the admin people at school must think of us. everyone on here said they were getting north of 10k so I just wanted to give it a shot to see for myself. It also cost $50 application fee in addition to the 3 hours I spent on the application. I'm convinced that legit needy people are getting the money at smaller schools and the big schools are the ones wasting. Wish someone from the schools would step up and comment on why there are people with not only my hhi but those with even higher hhi are getting aid. I know nearly all the schools check out this forum. [/quote]
