Sample Aid Packages - 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.
