Yes, it is true, we spend about 25K in private school expenses for High School and Elementary School. The FASA only considers children in college when calculating EFC. As the D1 goes to college, does anyone know if some institutes consider this in financial aid calculations? If so, do they typically treat this as a direct reduction of the EFC? We have heard this varies by school. Our situation is similar to 2 in college and if some schools consider it this way, it makes a huge difference. If no consideration is given, we probably will be ineligible for aid until D2 goes to school one year later.
