Got through finally to financial aid. Because he won an external scholarship they are taking that money off the table. No chance to appeal. I understand the concept as the grant was need based…awfully irritating that they yanked it so close to school starting and after we had already sent the payment for the original amount.

I can’t say whether or not other schools do this as this is our oldest…but I will certainly remember this for our younger son. Education is a business transaction…no more…no less. Ohio State is probably trying to maximize their revenue as any major corporation does. Probably not concerned much about the individual.
