Subject: What HHI for financial aid?
Families looking for discounts are not interested in supporting the school or the school community. Let them bargain shop elsewhere.

We stayed in public.
20% off is “paltry”?
We thought so. But hey, you do you.

Just ignore. PP is an idiot that is constantly triggered by financial aid questions.

We were hoping for $5-10k in aid to ease things but honestly didn’t expect it. Have not bothered to apply again.
So it’s actually $35k for you on that salary? Seems reasonable not to expect FA.
There were other factors including medical situations that I do not owe you the details of, but as I said, we did not expect it. I did not say the decision was unreasonable. I also think there’s no harm in trying.

Hhi $320k. 2 kids in high school around $35k each. Get $0 from one, $2k off of the other.

Wondering at what HHI families still qualify for financial aid…
Living within our means, but tuition is so high.
