Message: [QUOTE="wgdsr, post: 3895536, member: 7179"] yes, 5 grand is 5 grand. my reference was that in relation to the financial aid award, it's much smaller. @90k income with 60k savings and a 74 grand price tag: pell - 3.2 k syr grant - 45.7 k left over -- 25k (work study or loan possible) @ 140 k savings (not including ret accounts), the syr grant drops to 34.7 (down 11). so financial aid in this case would pick up half to 2/3. 1 athletic scholly is all in $ 74k (or $79). so by forgoing 5k athletic scholarship for a kid that could get much more in financial aid, all parties do better. until they change the rules, that's how it is.
