<p>so...i haven't actually received the documents yet, but i got my FA today on the phone from the financial office.</p>

<p>they gave me one figure, called my "family contribution." the way i interpreted it was that this was the total amount my entire family had to come up with. my parents are divorced...so penn gives us one number and my parents have to figure it out amongst themselves who pays what? is this how penn does FA?</p>

<p>Yep. At least that’s how it worked for me. My parents are divorced too. SFS told me X amount had to be paid by my parents. They then decided how much each was going to contribute.</p>
