She can choose to give you access, but she doesn't have to do it. Try and remember that although she's your child she's almost certainly an adult already, and about to embark on her own adventure. It might be good training for you, not to have instant access to every detail of her life

Why should they base it on parents earnings, shouldn’t everyone get the same and then if some are fortunate enough to not need it they can pay it back.
