<p>@musicmerit,</p>
<p>Thanks for the link. Yes, a very long discussion. The same sentiments as this thread. </p>
<p>One poster mentioned that first gen parents are at a disadvantage, and yes, this is true but that’s why picking up the phone and calling the FA office is of paramount importance. </p>
<p>Someone asked why doesn’t The Gates Foundation pay for his education? Because his family has an income on $175,000. There are kids whose parents are making 30,000/year, scraping to make ends meet and don’t have the extra income to toss at adult daughters.</p>
<p>Enabling much?</p>
