Pitt, Emmanuel, Penn State and Oregon do NOT guarantee to meet full need for all accepted students. With an income that exceeds $100,000 a year, I would not expect any of these colleges to increase your need based aid.

In addition, you are out of state for Pitt, Penn State and Oregon…so you will be paying the higher OOS rate. Their first obligation is to the students from those states…not OOS students.

$104,000 income would make you NOT eligible for any federally funded grant aid either.

Did your daughter apply to ANY instate colleges…at all?

If not, she may need to take a gap year…and regroup…and reapply to affordable schools.
