I would not have thought to apply simply because I thought FA was intended to help families who don't make a lot of money. (Not DCUM version of low HHI). [/quote]

What exactly is your definition of "not a lot of money?" Perhaps your belief that you make a lot of money is a tad over inflated.[/quote]

No. I honestly (and naively it seems) thought it was for families who qualify for free lunch or other assistance to live. This thread is helpful as I assumed private schools were out of our reach,  it sounds like that might not be the case.  I appreciate the examples posters are providing, it is very helpful!![/quote]

I am a step above those families you describe and I got nada.  I needed appr. 75% FA and I guess the schools just didn't have it to give me for 13 years.  [/quote]

Oh I missed when you said "my area." I thought you were in the DC area.

Was the school known for having FA?  I am surprised you did not receive anything, especially with other commenting they are receiving aid making over $250k.  Ugh.[/quote]

This school had the largest endowment of any private school where we live.  I can sort of understand where they are coming from.  A 4 year old is an unknown.  13 years of 75% tuition is a lot.  That is why we have applied again for MS.  At least she has a good track record behind her now.  [/quote]

Yes strategically you made a bad call. You should have went after some of the better endowed K-8 schools. [/quote]

They only K-8 schools in my area are Catholic schools that cost no more than $7500 per year.  That is where my DD has been since K.  I can afford that price.[/quote][/quote]
