<p>“My family is willing and able to apply to pay any costs or fees incurred.”</p>
<p>Do your parents the kindness of discussing with them just exactly how they plan to come up with the US$60,000 each year that some places could cost them. Chinese parents are famous for their willingness to sacrifice, but asking for something in the range of a quarter of a million US$ is serious. If your parents aren’t extremely wealthy, paying that kind of money can affect the family’s lifestyle far into the future. There is every chance that by sacrificing their current and future income for your education, your parents could end up needing your financial help in retirement right when you are starting to pay for your own children’s educations.</p>
