Daughter has her heart set on school A, which I was all for except for the fact that she won a 3 year scholarship so the first year we will have to pay for. School B is offering to help pay for first year along with room and board. I was told we would be responsible for $18,000, for which I thought great, we can do that because she had received a letter in the mail from School B with the offer of a $17,500 scholarship. How perfect is that?! Or so I thought. I completely misunderstood the info I was given and turns out the $18,000 is what we are responsible for AFTER her $17,500 scholarship is applied. We cannot afford that.
Problem is, she has already submitted her Letter of Intent & Acknowledgement for School B. Can she request a change of school or is she stuck at School B? I feel so guilty for being happy that she had chosen School B when she really wanted School A. I was fighting for school B thinking we couldn't afford School A, boy was I wrong. I feel like such an idiot. I should have stayed out of it and let her handle it.
