Oh please. My husband and I make contributions to the annual funds at our college alma maters every year. Unless your parents are finding the construction of buildings that are named after them, their donations are just that…donations. They are not money given to secure you an admissions spot a UConn…or a nickel of financial aid.
Did you read this thread before you applied to colleges? These are less expensive schools. The money your parents are offering…plus a Direct Loan…plus money you earn at a job…would pay for many of them. Oh…and you might have even been awards some merit aid at some.
