<p>Think of the impact of parents who marry while students are in college and are not contributing at all? The effects would be disastrous to the students. For some, waiting to marry until the students graduate can be the most unselfish thing they can do. There are too many uncertain facets of this whole process in the years to come. Job losses, financial aid reductions, declines in enrollment, endowment declines etc. One thing you can be certain of is getting married will only hurt the student’s situation for financial aid.</p>
