[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised in foster care and got my education ( BS and MS) from my state flagship. I worked a number of jobs through college. I also got some aid. I specifically chose a state university because it was the most affordable. Now, I am in a responsible job and am paying full freight for my kid. [b]Why do low income kids think they should get aid to attend an expensive private school?[/b] This was not even in my thought process when I was trying to get through school. Why isn’t the state school good enough? It was for me and many of my friends. My kid got accepted to a private college. Nice but no aid for $60,000 per year. Yet the school doles out all these first gen scholarships and me tori g programs and other URM programs out the wazoo. We are going to turn down the private college. It’s too costly for us. [/quote] What on earth makes you think that private colleges care what low-income students think or want? [/quote]
