I’m in NJ. DD20 was admitted to aNJ Public

@NJWrestlingmom

I’m surprised his cheapest in-state option for a mostly straight A student would be $17k/year. Depending on test scores, he should gave gotten pretty good merit at Ramapo, Stockton and Rowan. If you go Pell and Tag on top of that, I wouldn’t think you would still be at $17k/yr. did he get merit at any state school?

@NJWrestlingmom - We received FA for Ramapo today. Tuition is $15086, Room/Board is $14478. DD20 received a full tuition Merit Scholarship. According to their calculations we will be out of pocket $19, 228 per year which includes books, travel & other education related expenses like a laptop, school supplies, personal expenses.
