Spruce Hill Financial Aid Errors

Well my dear son was accepted to the school. They sent me a letter telling me that he was in and that he needed all this paperwork done with his doctor and dentist before he was allowed to attend. Everything has been sent in except his dental, because he has to get a crown on his back tooth.

One thing that perturbed me was that they never told me anything about financial aid. On the enrollment packet, I checked off the box that said I was interested in financial aid. So I called like months later and asked, "Whats the deal with financial aid?" Well first off let me tell you how they waited till the 18 to send in Jahair's scholarship he got from the children's scholarship fund of Philadelphia due on the 23rd. And get this, I gave them all the paperwork so that when they signed it they could send it directly to the scholarship. Who did they send it to....ME!!! So I had to find the location of the P.O. Box on Monday morning...21st which thank God was on Broad and Chestnut, and hand deliver it to the post office and ask her to put it in there.
So back to the story...so in that packet contained my 1040. Why if they needed it to process the in house financial aid didn't they copy it? So anyway she's like..."You never got a financial aid form? Well Ill send it out (USPS) and its $15 to process" Damn always a catch! Plus she cant fax it. Some BS, but I'll deal with it.

SO long story even longer, she sends me the thing in the mail. Mind you school is almost out so I have to rush to get it in else they'll give me that...it was vacation and I didn't process it till we got back deal. So I send it out immediately, and its returned with the financial aid amount, which was feasible. On the letter it said "THIS IS YOUR ONLY BILL" and it had the adjusted amount and showed the monthly payments that will be automatically drafted beginning in July....But wait there's more...

They didn't have on the bill the amount from the outside scholarship award. So instead of emailing I called and she was like...Oh...so she told me to fax her the letter of award. And I made a point of telling her, "The scholarship is adjusted by what financial aid the school gives by 25%" That way she doesn't readjust my school aid because of the scholarship, then the scholarship readjust on that...like if the tuition =$5400, and I get $1300 in financial aid...with a 25% scholarship...don't say I owe more than $3075.

So I'm waiting to see what happens, cause the first payment is due in July, and I hope they adjust it correctly.
