[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please ignore the parent who says that CSS schools give merit that FAFSA schools don't. They aren't related in that way. Some schools give merit to students regardless of their parents' income. That's what merit means. It has nothing to do with a family's financial status. In contrast, some schools give need-based financial aid. I think the PP is confused about how these overlap. Whether a school uses CSS or FAFSA has little to do with whether they'll give you need-based financial aid or merit aid.[/quote] I'm that poster, and you did not understand my post. I'm not relating the two unless you consider botyom line cost a relation. We qualify for need based aid at the CSS schools but not at the FAFSA schools. The merit aid she did qualify for at the FAFSA schools was not comparable to the need based at at the CSS schools. I love how you think you know more about my lived experience than I do. Typical dcum arrogance. [/quote]
