Financial Aid Example: Diana
Diana, a very strong student with SAT’s in the mid-1300’s and a GPA of 3.99, grew up in a very religious home. Her mother was a member of the clergy and Diana knew that wherever she attended college, a religious atmosphere would have to be available.
A Lutheran college fit perfectly into Diana’s vision of college life. She was excited about the prospect of discussing religious beliefs in a safe and supportive environment. The only problem Diana’s family of six faced had to do with financial aid.
