This hits close to home as my daughter is in her senior year of high school. She has a great GPA as she has worked hard through high school. However she is just finding that she does not qualify for financial aid and some scholarships due to our income, that has really hit her hard. She feels like she has worked for nothing, we might have an okay income but not enough to pay for her college and that of our other 3 kids.
