<p>That is really impressive, i dont really know what type scholarships that they r included in the financial aid letter, cuz i checked their webside, and it states the merit aid scholarships will send out directly from the college that your son applied to. Therefore, i assume that the merit aid base scholarship is not part of the financial aid letter. I called them today and try to get the confirmation about it, but the office was closed because they r during vacation. i will call them again when they finish the vacation. and yea, even i accept all the student loan and the work study thing they offered, i still need to pay about 28K…that is crazy, and my mother cannot pay that much without any doubts. they didnt give out a lot financial support prob b/c im not resident of illinois, but still…that is way too expensive.</p>
