Tulane COA 50K, 18500 need based scholarship, 2500 WS, 5000 loans
total aid $26000, our cost $24000, gapped us by 1K based on institutional methodology.
Unfortunately my husband lost his job in November so we no longer have the option of borrowing against our home so we will not accept this offer.

Sorry to hear about your husband's job loss. If you have not already done so, before you take it off the table, you should definitely contact Tulane regarding a financial review (especially if it is high on your child's list) since the loss of job is a change in circumstance for which they will certainly grant you a financial review.
Just have no shame and totally lay out your financial situation out to them. You have nothing to lose at least if they can bring it in line with what it would cost your family out of pocket to attend buffalo, would it then be a feasible option for your family?
all the best
