Attended the Dutchtown High School awards ceremony last night and I was blown away by the magnitude of the scholarships and financial aid packages handed out! The total $$$ in financial aid announced for 2012 DHS graduating seniors was over $3 MILLION ! The senior class has about 400 students; about half of those received some sort of recognition or award last night. My grandson was among those, and he did get a couple of (relatively tiny) scholarships -- but those will certainly come in really handy when he starts college this fall.
I guess one obvious point is that when someone says "there's just no financial aid available for my kid", they (or their kid) probably just have not put any effort into it.
