<p>“$13K is the amount allowed per person per year to give.”</p>
<p>Do you mean</p>
<p>$13K is the amount allowed per person per year to give to a student directly for college , to a parent for a student’s college tuition, or given directly to a college (for the student)?</p>
<p>Yes, we’ll probably speak with the FA dept of the school. But the school seems rather stingy already (despite a 55 pct redution in household income from one yr to the next, there was no other aid than what the feds, and not the school, gives; just loans) and it would not surprise me that they would make an amendment to the FA package this yr or next that wd be good for them but bad for the student and the student’s familiy. Thus the outside fact finding and info gathering before bringing this up to the college.</p>
