<p>“We”? You are deciding your sister’s fate? As someone noted above, one does not “take” an adult out of school. Not even a quasi-adult. If you are helping to pay for it, or supporting the household, which amounts to the same thing, I can understand your thinking this way, but still…</p>
<p>That said, if she has not done well enough to retain her scholarship and her remaining at that school will entail borrowing as a result, then I think she ought to take a leave of absence and do something else until she has her act together: CC, a job, whatever. I think that your parents need to make it clear that they cannot and will not make up for the lost scholarship funds.</p>
<p>I have friends who borrowed $30K to keep their kid who had under-performed and lost his scholarship in school for another year, and he never graduated. They, and now he, were left with the debt, which as it happens prevented them from supporting the schooling of their younger son.</p>
<p>If she wants to continue her education at this time, she should definitely meet with someone at a local CC that has an articulation agreement with an affordable 4-year school.</p>
