[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD received full ride scholarship to the school she will attend this fall (Clemson).  We have high EFC and the our EFC was more that the COA for the school she is attending but she was selected for a unique scholarship opportunity [b]only presented to four students[/b] that covered full tuition room and board for all 4 years.  She also received over $100k in outside scholarships that she will be able to get a refunds each semester due to overages on her account.  So basically she is getting paid to go to school.[b]  Point is there is merit money available at the schools[/b] and outside school that does not even take your income into account.  [/quote]

[b]There are 4,600 freshman at Clemson. .08% will receive that scholarship. We must have very different definitions of available[/b]. [/quote]

This. The first PP here obviously had a child who was an extremely strong applicant for a school like Clemson. Most kids will not be in that position and while her DDs achievement is genuinely impressive, sharing such an anecdote will give false hope and expectation to most.[/quote]
