Is it some kind of probationary period? Good question! You mean you have to be nervous about getting your DC in in the first place and then again about staying in? I couldn't imagine... I found that in the FAQ: Quote To be eligible for Financial Assistance, a Young Scholar's family must meet each of the following conditions: The applicant must complete the six-month introductory period; and The applicant must demonstrate financial need based upon a Financial Application. http://www.davidsongifted.org/young...rs___Frequently_Asked_Questions_381.aspx

LMom Member Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 902	As far as I know the 6 month introductory period applies to the Financial Aid only. I would think that if the portfolio looks great they may provide money for the additional testing, but like I said this may not be the policy anymore. I looked at our application since the one of the Internet is from April 08, but I kept only the pages we filled out. Page #10 didn't require any input so I threw it away LMom
