我们是一个单一income低收入家庭. 俺女儿接受了非常慷慨的基于需要 (need based)的助学金.
$35,xxx grant + $2500 work study (substitued by her NMS). 那时学校口头上promised about the same for 2nd year. School also promised to cut our EFC by 1/2 when our son starts college in 2010. Many people on this forum asked me about this 口头上的 promise. That is why I broke down and made this post. 表砸我
In 2008, I actually made more money than 2007, from a raise and a decent PFP bonus. I wrote a letter to school FA office to explain the increase and let them know my employor had told us that 2009 will NOT have any raise nor bonus.
Got the draft package about two weeks ago for 2009 - 2010 year:
$37,xxx grant + $2500 work study. Basically, school covers the 3.5% increase in tuition and fees, then some. We are going to accept the package w/o any additional request.
So, for those low income families who have concerns about paying for your child's education. Don't be. Select schools with excellent 基于需要的助学金 rather than focus on merit based scholarship. Also, many rich schools have very good summer jobs if your child is willing to work.
o.k. 表砸我. Take this for whatever it is worth to you. It is your decsion to believe it or not.
