<p>Hi elan-xu,</p>
<p>So they’re like Sprint Wireless? I have to ask for a supervisor? </p>
<p>All kidding aside, I will take your advice (and thank you very much for it!). Like you described, I did find out when I was there last Friday that a small scholarship my daughter got from my husband’s company will not reduce her aid. The woman said we had enough “cushion”. The scholarship is small and only for her first year so it’s not a really huge difference.</p>
<p>However, since they say upfront that they don’t meet “full need” (they are very honest and forthright about that), I’m not terribly hopeful that they will agree to let my daughter “keep” that $16K scholarship if our EFC shoots up to $42K for her last two years. I guess I don’t blame them since there are so many kids whose educations are in jeopardy because a parent lost their job, etc. These are really bad times for a lot of people… But I will write to a supervisor as you suggested and see what they say. </p>
<p>Thanks very much for your excellent advice!</p>
