    This issue has come up a number of times both here at Williams College and
    in my previous position at Bentley College.

    I have always insisted that the student has a right to know who or what is
    the source of the payment so that he/she will not be put in a compromising
    position. But I too would like to know how other folks have handled this.

    make an anonomous payment towards a student's balance, would you agree to
    this? Not certain if there are legal issues here or if it is possible to
    not divulge to the student the source of the payment.
