[quote=Anonymous]Again: The system is wacked. People who get FA and spend $10,000 a year on international travel? People who rent huge homes for $5,000 a month when they could downsize and save on rent? What's the fancy rental for except appearances. Oh, and people on FA who drive $50,000 cars instead of $25,000? Something is wrong with this picture. I make sacrifices, pay full freight only to subsidize this? I'm fine subsidizing students who really need FA. Folks who don't are gaming the system

I am sooooo with you! I pay full tuition and live in a tiny condo (if we happened to have another kid it just wouldnt' work it is that small).  I cannot afford to take vacations other than weekend to the beach or something. I have no problem whatsoever helping those students that really need it. I think the schools should have parents involved in the finanical aid decisions since we are the ones partly funding the financial aid. I know for a fact (YES THE PARENT TOLD ME I think she automatically assumed I was on financial aid after being to my Apt and seeing that we drive a 1996 car) that people are abusing the system. This person has a brand new car, nice house, gorgeous clothes for herself and child yet getting almost full tutition. I don't want to put to much out here but she is not married and claims the father doesn't support the child (no formal court cocuments) when infact she is getting a lot of cash. I know that SSS requires BOTH parents to submit the forms for those not married, however when you state there is "no father or that he can't be found" then there is nothing that SSS or the school can do. Sad, but this person actually does it! I ofcoure am so bitter that I have stopped hanging out with her.
