[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1069026, member: 19930"] Jogeephus that's really tough for you and your daughter. Shouldn't be that way. Solid academic performance should be rewarded with merit scholarships. That's a bummer. You didn't say how close your daughter is to going to school or if she's decided on major or minor study areas or what school - anyway there are some organizations that provide scholarships specifically to people in certain subject areas. Knew a young woman who was not particularly religious but found a significant 4 year scholarship for a woman who minored in religious studies. So she was com sci major with a minor in religion. That scholarship paid most of her way. If she's chosen her school there are counselors on staff who are paid to help people like your daughter. They know what's out there and how to get it. Get in touch with those folks. Take a look at scholarship.com for some assistance and ideas. Has she taken her ACT or SAT tests yet? If she hasn't taken them yet she should take them early and consider taking them a second time to improve scores. Great test scores on the ACT and SAT will get scholarships. Some kids don't want to look greedy or whatever so they don't seek out high school awards especially those based in academics. Those awards will seem maybe geeky but they can be valuable when applying for merit scholarships they all count. In order to reduce costs she might be able to test out of specific college classes. They will be called something like college level exam placement tests (CLEP). She may be able to reduce class load to a point she can work part time. I don't know the answer to this but I'm wondering if wealth tied up in an IRA or 401K count in a 'needs based' scholarship? The answer could mean she could save the money for her own use (much later of course) by putting it in a Roth and use scholarship money rather than her own. Just a wild guess. Best of luck to your girl. [/QUOTE]
