FWIW my DC was accepted to both Rice and Grinnell for fall 2019. Our income is $180K and we support DHs parents 100%. Grinnell offered $15,000 more in FA than Rice did, despite what Rice’s ‘donut hole’ commitment implies. In our case the NPCs were about the same and I called the FA offices before DC applies. I explained the elderly parent issue and they both assured me it would be “factored in” and we should send additional documentation.

I appreciate your sharing your experience as well. I was curious about the statement "Grinnell offered $15,000 more in FA than Rice did" - does that mean that Grinnell discounted their sticker price by $15,000 more than Rice discounted theirs?  The Grinnell [url=https://www.grinnell.edu/admission/financial-aid/affording-grinnell/cost]website lists $67,646[/url] for 2019/2020, [url=https://financialaid.rice.edu/cost-attendance]Rice lists[/url] $67,102.  Are you able/willing to share what your quoted price is with your HHI and your situation?

Naive question: they don't make you sign an NDA when you apply, do they?
