It depends on the college, Pete. As the others have said, FAFSA does not take it into consideration so you will not get more in government aid for this. But there are private schools who do take it into consideration. I know that many Catholic colleges will take it into consideration if sibling are in Catholic schools. It really is an individual consideration that varies from school to school, and whether all or part of the amount expended is considered. I remember one school that did take into consideration the money expended for music lessons and activities for siblings. I thought that was reasonable as the child applying was going as a performance major. But this is not across the board for all colleges. If there is no place to put the expense, do write it in as something additional to be considered.
