<p>You re right, yes I meant until you are released from your ED school.</p>

<p>Most of the time, the school does offer what they feel is an adequate FA package. It will be the family who thinks that the FA package is not adequate. The reason that I said this is that as I previously mentioned, there is often a disconnect between what the family believes that they should have to pay and what the school believes the family can afford to pay. </p>
<p>Sometimes families feel, “while we make make “X” dollars on paper we donot afford to pay this efc becacuse the college does not consider factors such as “X” amount for multiple car payments, credit card debt, family paying “X” amount of mortage, second homes that they are not making money off of, etc.” (tons of example on the FA and the Parent forum threads).</p>
