<p>Great link D’yer! Interesting reading and I think it’s heartening that while the article states that colleges/universities are cutting financial aid in this economy, most boarding schools are working as hard as they can to expand their aid. Some are able to do more than others but I do believe that most schools have fin. aid. as one of their top priorities.</p>
