I can’t promise you anything but I can say that typically students who have debt are usually in the 15-30k range. Hillsdale is very generous, and if your son is around the median for this years incoming GPA and ACT (what I am hearing is that a 3.8 and 31/32 ACT is going to be the incoming class) Hillsdale will likely offer him a large merit tuition package. Financial Aid is very good and if you explain your situation and fill out the CFFS (Hillsdale’s version of FAFSA) you will likely be happy with the outcome. Hillsdale also is a big believer in rewarding students with additional scholarships as they progress. If you son does well on his classes, he will likely receive more funding for his merit scholarships. Also, depending on his major/minor and GPA he has the potential to pay nothing in tuition on top of his scholarships. The Journalism minor gives out scholarships to sophomores who in their freshman year have written and helped produce quality articles for the Hillsdale Collegian (9th best College newspaper in the nation), and earned a 3.0 GPA. Those scholarships are usually 1/4 tuition and can range up to i think 3/4 tuition. If your son declares a major in American Studies and has a 3.2 GPA i believe he can get up to 1/2 tuition.

Ultimately, Hillsdale is very very generous and understanding of everyone and truly wishes to minimize debt.
