We went for equivalent experiences rather than matching dollar for dollar. D is at Wellesley, full-pay. S is at Oberlin, on a merit scholarship. We don’t give our son the money his merit scholarship saves us. Instead, we make sure both kids’ needs are met, including money for books, transportation, extracurricular fees for things like retreats. In the summers, we expect both of our kids to work so that they will have money to spend on extras, such as the occasional dinner out, gifts, etc.
