ASKING ERIC: Aunt and uncle hear nothing after sending check for college expenses

Dear Eric: Last August, my husband and I told his niece that we would help with her daughter’s college expenses. We sent $2,000 to the college for the first semester. We received a thank-you text from his niece but nothing from the student. We eventually told the grandmother, my husband’s sister, that we expected something from the student recognizing that we had sent some money. Finally, a thank-you note came in the spring.
