Wharton Financial Aid

Ive got a kid at Wharton (2010) whos father is BROKE.

His grades near PERFECT.

Cant pay anymore. Nothing left. Bankrupt. And very sad.

Any ideas for this EXTREMELY talented business student who without help may end up back home ?

Thanks

Contact Penn's Student Financial Services office:

Even if financial aid wasn't awarded when a student was originally accepted, it can be awarded subsequently if family financial circumstances change.

^^^ Seconded. SFS should be your first call. They're very accommodating of changes in a family's financial situation.

Additionally, tell your kid to look at some of the companies recruiting at Penn. JPMorgan, Microsoft, several government agencies, and others (along with SEO) offer some great internship opportunities coupled with scholarships. This is especially true if your kid is some minority.
