Well, geez, her hhi is $60K. Take home must be $50 or $45. Not a hell left over to pay the $33K tuition. Just glad to know that GDS has the money and they're giving to a worthy family.

It's a grant. Basically a tuition reduction.

Forgive my ignorance I'm new to all this and the only financial aid I ever came across in my life was for college and grad school. Is financial aid for elementary and high school at these private schools more of a grant, in other words money you don't pay back, or is it a loan? Does everyone apply for FA like college or is there typically a unofficial HHI level that sets the mark?

Happened to us with DC last year at Lowell. HHI of 60k total. We had to decline offer. Fortunately we were offered about 90% in Aid from GDS and accepted. DC is now in the Lower School there.
