<p>i found an old article on FinAid stating that the myth didn’t apply to scholarships, etc. and that the study that was quoted so much was done in the 80’s and relates only to employment-based aid. i’ve heard this rumor a lot, though i find it hard to believe that all the times i’ve heard it it related to a study done almost 30 years ago. idk, here’s the link, check it out.
