[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with FA is that it is not a merit based scholarship, as some of the PP have implied. It's price discrimination. Because the family with an EQUALLY SMART AND TALENTED kid who can pay full freight, will be expected pay full freight. [/quote] There is no such thing as price discrimination. Some schools do offer merit aid and some only offer need based aid. How is that any different than college? College isn't a requirement. It too can be said to be a luxury item. Anyone who can pay full freight is expected to do so. In my experience every single person I know how has received or is receiving FA would gladly pay the full tuition of they could. Are there some cheating the system? Maybe. But that's not the case for the majority of families on FA.[/quote]
