I'm considering giving a gift (between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars) to a very good friend whose finances are dire and might get worse this year. Her younger child attends an Ivy and has received very good financial aid so far (standard for their income: the school pays for everything except a $3,000 to $4,000 student contribution. For the level of gift I'm considering, is there anything I should be concerned about as far as affecting the child's financial aid? Thank you.
