for a scholarship" at BYU. Now as a faculty member, I see that I was short-sighted. I should have better realized that the way BYU handles finances is just very different — and not a bad way to do it. They want everyone to contribute, but for it to be reasonable for everyone to do so. In the end, BYU has the lowest student financial aid burden of any school—meaning, BYU students carry the lowest debt. So whatever they're doing is working. I'm trying to help my kids see it this way and not be disappointed if they don't get one of the few scholarships.
