When my son was home this summer he was able to use his ID at the commissary store.

Obligation to Help Pay for College Is the non-custodial parent required to help pay for college? The Federal government does not consider the income and assets of the non-custodial parent in determining a student's financial need. However, it does consider child support received by the...

The law says that parents have the “legal responsibility” to pay for college education, and it is the student who is responsible party for the bill. In the previously mentioned case the Pell Grant and matching Pell Grant paid for the student’s room, which is a billable item for the school...

Thank you for your post and bring up some interesting points. It’s best to say we will agree to disagree.

I never mentioned going outside the budgeted amount of 52,800 and I’m not sure why your calculation goes beyond the budged amount. It all has to do with how the pie is sliced within that 52,800 figure. By the way, he qualified for the ROTC Scholarship he didn’t win it. The ROTC Scholarship...

Nope. Unfortunately, you are not correct. In my son’s case by being a recipient of the ROTC Scholarship his need-based aid (9,440) was removed from his financial aid award, which increased his obligation to the school from 35,760 to 45,200. With the application of the ROTC funding of 38,000...

The overall effect of his ROTC scholarship in the 2009-2010 year was a reduction in financial aid by $9,440 (SEOG- $4000, Institutional aid- $5440). I feel like because he has an ROTC scholarship, he is being penalized. It didn’t seem right to me, but based on your comments, I guess that’s...

In 2009-2010 right after HR 1777 was put into effect, my son's school took his ROTC scholarship and applied it to the institutional aid (grants) before the family contribution. Is that the appropriate application of his scholarship in accordance with HR 1777? They effectively removed $7,200...

In 2009-2010 his school awarded an institutional grant ($10,000) and another federal grant (SEOG) ($4,000). Both were removed from his aid package and replaced with the ROTC Scholarship funding. In 2010-2011 he did not have a financial aid award pre-scholarship.

According to HR 1777, ROTC scholarships cannot be included in Estimated Financial Aid (EFA). My son just received his financial aid award letter, and it lists the sources for his financial aid to be Pell Matching Grant - 5,500 Federal Perkins Loan - 3,748 ROTC Scholarship - 39,212 Federal...
