[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]None of the Big 3 give anywhere close to 50% FA - more along the lines of $10-15k of a $40k tuition bill. But maybe she has a husband with a job too? [/quote]

[quote]SFS upper school parent here - a Pp was correct. No student at Sidwell gets more than $15k in aid. It even says it somewhere on some materials we are given when we renew our contracts every year. The average FA award is $7500. That figure is somewhere in paperwork parents are given every year too. SFS doesn't have an endowment anywhere close to NCS, and I know from friends who have kids at NCS that they don't give 50% either. These schools like to publicize how inclusive they are, but you still need to pay 60-70% of the tuition.[/quote]

Just checking in to refute these misinformed posts.

~ FA family at a Big 3 whose child (not URM) receives 85%+ FA.[/quote]

I agree.  So many people on this Board talk out of their as$es, it's hilarious.  Unless you work in FA, how could you possibly know this?   I'm at a Big 3 and am aware of several families that are receiving significant FA. [/quote]
