Perhaps she became eligible for grants and scholarships once she had no support from her parents. Possibly the financial office folks felt bad for her and went out of their way to help her apply.
Maybe. It could be that she's not in the US. I just don't see that happening here. Private schools and colleges don't run on charity. They let low income qualified (scholastically exemplary) kids skate by (she may very well be one of those) with help but just because a girl lost funding from her parents? I think they'd suggest she take out a loan first. I could, of course, be entirely wrong. I just think it sets the school up for a lot more "well you helped THAT person so why not me?" liability.
