[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of gossip (and these threads) have made me give much less to our school's annual drive which benefits financial aid. We are full pay and lucky enough to have grandparents who help with some. Its a financial sacrifice and it didn't occur to me to ask for aid at our income (around 350k which is pretty low in the private school works). I now give more money when there are requests for specific things - a new science lab, new bus, field trips etc. Maybe if the school was more transparent about who qualifies for aid I would feel differently but for now I'm considering my full pay of tuition to be my contribution to financial aid. [/quote] I'm in a similar boat and a similar mindset. Never occurred to me to even think there are families taking aid away from those WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT. I will be adjusting my giving to be more targeted on transparent items as well. [/quote]
