[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of multiple kids who get 50% off and they live it 1.5M homes and higher in McLean and Bethesda and are receiving significant financial aid for their kid in a top school. Also worthy of note- these are not top athletes, students, etc.

Anyone else seeing this? [/quote]

Same at my DD school. Financial aid covers things like out of state school trips too. Family lives in 1.5-2.5 mil home, dad drives Tesla, mom does not work. I thought the $ we contribute to scholarships was to cover [b]kids from truly disadvantaged backgrounds[/b]. Smart, motivated kids whose single mom works two jobs to make ends meet sort of thing. Not for entitled, advanatged folks who make poor $ choices.[/quote]

Genuinely curious - have you seen these truly disadvantaged kids at your school? The ones in the inexpensive house with the mom working two jobs? [/quote]

I have.  apartment.  Mom cleans houses. Dad is a day laborer.  Neither speak English.  This kid is smart.  Totally worth it.  But the middle class people who could afford it with some belt tightening make me second guess giving.  [/quote]

So it’s one kid. Sounds about right.[/quote]
