| After the Elon scholarship and the various fed and state grants and loans, she was about 7 grand over our EFC. Not only that but it took several phone calls to get them to produce the fin aid package and they were not interested in reviewing it. She was looking at about 12 grand in loans for the first year and about 50 grand total. We felt that was too much for undergrad school. Elon has very few low income out of staters - probably in the 1 or 2 % range. And youre right about PSU, their package wasn't too good either, after the aid she was still about 5 grand short. But remember, Elon is now 25 plus, PSU is still around 18. Elon's cost has increased 50 % over the last 5 years and they're still giving only a couple of grand in scholarships - you're paying 23 grand to go to Elon, many instaters are paying 14 or 15 for PSU. |
