<p>I understand what you were trying to put across and wanted to point out that any more scholarship would go toward reducing the amount of finaid Brown was giving her, not the amount she, her mother, and her father were liable for. In other words, unless I’m misinterpreting Brown’s policy, I do not see the use of hoping that the $7.5k per year would disappear in subsequent years. If she cannot appeal to Brown now, I do not see how she could make a better case next year. </p>
<p>Regarding Mini’s scenario: I know that there are higher-paying jobs than the one my S has. But I like to budget prudently. He lives in a moderate rent area but makes well below $50k per year.</p>
