<p>dignified1, you are so right. Based on the calculator we don’t get FA and few schools give merit aid, and even when they do the $amount is rather low. We asked S to target schools that were known for giving merit but so far other than the NAF guaranteed schools the best merit offer was 20K/yr from a school that costs $50K. I just don’t see how any school is worth that kind of $$ when these kids will have to go to grad school.</p>
