My college dd has decided to drop out and go to culinary school!

I honestly can't imagine my kids not choosing to finish a year of school on scholarships if I told them they would get no financial support from me. (Like I said, OP didn't indicate any unusual circumstances or extreme unhappiness that would necessitate that.) IMO telling them they were on their own if they gave up their scholarship would be pretty much be forcing their hand to stay where they were rather than simply doing what many of us were suggesting and encouraging them to finish out the year and take some time to think about it before making such a change.

Same outcome, more options for the student IMO.
