[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA will 100% do this. They will give aid to kids who don't qualify under the typical aid algorithm in order to get them to enroll. There have been kids posted about here on DCUM (by their parents) and kids I've known in real life. They make well over the traditional cut-offs but still get "aid". Sidwell likely does it as well.  It's how they hook in some of the most desirable kids.  100%--it happens.  And why should it not?  It's not illegal.  There is no accountability and ZERO transparency. Schools can do what they want and they do.  [/quote]

Given the high demand for places, what kinds of kids would STA or Sidwell offer financial aid to despite high parental income/net worth because they really wanted those kids? From what I can tell, most kids are a dime a dozen and the only ones that would stand out would be very famous parents (presidential kids, for example). [/quote]

I do not believe they would give money to someone outside the parameters for FA.[/quote]
