Smith Financial Aid

My daughter received Financial Packages from other schools, which are quite attractive. However, The schools are known for a very large population such as Purdue and other engineering schools. At 16 Yrs old she graduated from a small public High School in our state with a total population of 200 selected students called: Governor's School. I have tried my best as a parent in convincing her to take any of those financial packages -attend one of those schools and forget about Smith College.

Just to make a long story short, we realized that large Universities are not for her. I can almost tell she won't be happy attending any of those schools. So, We decided to send her to Smith. As of today - she is doing real well in engineering school and extremely happy.

I hate to say it, We’ll be in debt for the rest of our lives but, what a hek…She’s the only child, I decided to give her my parental support. I hope she will find a real job after graduation so she can start paying her student loan.
