<p>"To me, I don’t think it fair to punish son for losing scholarship…he is the one that earned it. "</p>
<p>I think it’s fair in that it seems to be the conditions that his parents imposed in agreeing to pay for him to attend that college. It’s not fair for his parents to have to pay more for his college because he lost his scholarship.</p>
<p>My son has gpa-dependent merit aid to a college that he knows we wouldn’t be able to afford without the merit aid (and without his helping out by working and taking out loans). Formerly a disorganized, lazy (his words) procrastinator, he has managed to hold onto his scholarship and has a higher gpa than it requires because he’s working his butt off and has organized himself to stay in the college that he loves.</p>
