[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I can't believe schools screw with students over scholarships like that.  At my SLAC, it was tough for some of my friends because tuition went up every year but the scholarship awards stayed the same in most instances.  So it became more difficult for them to afford each year, but nothing like pulling scholarships from kids.[/quote]

+1 I don’t understand the logic of pulling the rug out from under a student. [b]You basically ensure at least one alumni who will hate the school, never donate, and will likely bad mouth it. [/b]My merit award at a SLAC increased every year in line with tuition and expenses. I’ve donated every year since graduation, far more now than the school spent on me, so it looks like their bet paid off[/quote]

GW poster again.  If the alumni in question graduates from a different college and becomes successful/famous in the scenario above, the original school will 100000% claim him as an alum (at least, GW will; they tout lots of people who didn't graduate from there in ads).  They told us at a career session during orientation to list ourselves as alumni of colleges where we attended summer programs or took summer classes.[/quote]
