"And while household income, net worth and disposable income still play a role in determining aid eligibility, schools are increasingly looking at a family's ability to pay a portion of the cost themselves.
"The more you can pay, the better your chances are of being funded," Long said. "We're still looking for socio-economic diversity but our budget can absorb far fewer of those families that can only pay $500 to $1,000 a year. Those making between $150,000 and $350,000 a year who can pay at least 50% of the bill have become ideal candidates for aid."[/quote]

We are  n that bracket and would never get aid because of the equity we have in our business which we can't access which isn't that much but it's probably too much to get aid. If what this says is true that I'm not contributing any more to the annual fund because I'm not going to subsidize what I deem to be a very luxurious lifestyle (belonging to a $90,000 club plus not working) while I'm busting my butt to pay full tuition. You can defend it all you want but it is very very wrong and not fair.[/quote]
