[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would a school allow us to give $X, they then contact the family and pretend they found $X in aid or scholarship for their child? Or something along those lines. We don't want to embarrass them and we don't want them to know we gave it.[/quote]

Np.  How long do you plan on helping them out?    You sound like a good person but could you honestly do this for years?  Ultimately, the family will have to live within their means. [/quote]

Not the OP but even if it’s just for this year... let the student finish the year and reassess options. The school May be able to kick in the additional funds or maybe the family has to leave. But to have a kid leave mid year when they’ve been a valued member of the school community? During Covid? Clearly this is a special family if another family wants to pay their tuition.

I wonder if some of these posters aren’t private school parents. I have no idea who is on FA and who isn’t but we greatly value our school and its families. Especially now with the economy in limbo, families around the country are struggling. I’m so happy that this student will be able to finish out the year with his/her classmates.[/quote]
