Hbomb1970, in the end, it doesn’t matter that much if a scholarship is considered merit or fin aid. It’s all cash money as opposed to self help. It’s great your DD got more from other schools. But depending on what your EFC was, that is not a bad package from a private school that costs close to $50K a year. You are getting nearly half the cost covered. But if it doesn’t cover what you can afford, it is not useful to you, I admit. Congrats on getting some sweet deals.

SH keeps its doors open because there are a lot of families who are willing to pay the cost to them to send their kids there. For now, they are taking in enough to keep going. I’ve been predicting for nearly 20 years that these costs cannot keep going up at the pace they have, and I’ve been wrong.
