booo financial aid.

So my latest rant is in regard to financial aid.. Basically, in addition to loans and whatnot, a student may qualify for need-based grants from the school.  Given the fact that my family doesn't make a ton of money, I was counting on a handful of need-based aid.  Welllllll due to the fact that I was awarded a partial-tuition scholarship, that disqualifies me from "need" as defined by Touro.  So while I work my tush off to maintain the required GPA to keep my scholarship, non-smart people get need-based aid with no requirements to maintain.  In my opinion, I should be able to qualify for both.  Since I'm smart, and poor, that is.
