Let's pool our experiences to add some financial transparency to this college process

It wouldn’t have helped to take summer schools classes (and paid for them OOP) in her case because she had another scholarship that picked up the difference. I was just giving a warning to others who have the whole thing planned out and suddenly the scholarship is gone. At first I didn’t even notice that the scholarship had paid about $1200 less this semester because the bill to her was the same and she got the same amount refunded to her.

Pleased to announce that she took her final final today. She’s a college grad!

I guess for this thread the lesson is to know what the scholarship will cover and how long it lasts. D had some that were for 8 semesters only, this one limited to the number of credits, one that was tied to her NCAA eligibility and could have gone a 5th year, and some that were one timers.
