[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the person who keeps bragging about her kids being on full "academic" scholarships is bending the truth. I bet they are on F.A.

At my dd's college - ALL of the jobs on campus go to FA kids. That seems really unfair to me. We aren't rich at all...my dh and I have been working since age 12. Why are we penalized for living on the cheap.

Get real -- things are expensive out there.[/quote]

Nope. Not a dime of FA. And I will brag on them because I am very proud of them. One is a National Merit Scholar. She is super smart and works really hard. She had colleges throwing money at her. The other two are just your typical bright kids who worked hard in high school. Both of them got partial scholarships their first years then were offered ROTC scholarships. All three get 100% of tuition, housing, books, fees, etc..... The ROTC kids get living expenses as well. Not one dime in Financial aid. Our Income is too high .

Not all the jobs go to FA kids. I know several of my daughter's friends work in the bookstore. My daughter applied as well and was told they might have something to offer her in the fall.  [/quote]
