[quote=Anonymous]I had three full ride scholarships offered for high school boarding schools.  One was a Catholic girls school, one was an elite East coast school, one was a Midwest school.  I liked the feel of the catholic school, but it was tiny and wouldn't have been academically challenging.  The East coast school had very few families on scholarships, and when I talked to the student who was giving the tour about scholarships and financial aid, she cut the tour short and was very brusque.  The Midwest school had over half the students on at least partial scholarship, and when I talked to the students who took us on a tour about financial aid, they became even more friendly, and they took me around to a variety of kids who were doing their "scholarship hour," the hour that any kid on scholarship does to give back to the school, regardless of the amount they receive.  Where one set of students looked down on others who couldn't pay full price, the other had enough that received some help that very few cared.[/quote]
