Considering "Fairness" When Paying Sibling College Costs

What is “fair” is that you will find a way to provide a college education for each child within the established budget, and do so in a way that does not jeopardize the younger siblings’ opportunities. If the budget is the EFC, then that’s where you draw the line. You’ll help each up to the EFC. And while it’s fine to allow more educational “perks” during the college years for the kid who took the great FA package and came in under the EFC, at some point you stop trying to equalize. For me, I’d set the stop point around college graduation.
