Daughter affected by "prestige" bug... any advice?

<p>My D didn’t get a merit award,her college didn’t offer any.
She had her need met by a endowment dedicated to do that,presumably funded by people that donated money for need based scholarships.</p>

<p>I also didn’t say I wouldn’t accept a big discount from the school, I just didn’t Know it was even a possibility!
