[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens if one parent doesn't work by choice? As in a stay at home situation? I have heard this can impact financial aid grants.  Schools don't want to subsudize 'lifestyle' choices when that parent cold be contributing to the household income and chooses not to. Is this true? [/quote]

Obviously as this should count against a parent - especially if kids are in school all day and parent is at home. Also, I hope FA application asks what clubs people belong to and how much they paid to get into the club and also what the yearly dues are. Some clubs in this area have dues of $8-9k per year and that should not be added to the pot as a whole, but  I personally think it should be counted as direct money that could be given directly to tuition. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair to people who are paying full fair and could never afford to join a club at the same time. If they want people to donate more and continue to donate to FA, they have to make it as fair as possible. [/quote]
