We too sat down with our son and said “we have X saved, which will cover in state for four years. If you get scholarships elsewhere, great, we will save the $ for grad school.” He turned down some schools where his COA would have been less and some where his COA would have been more. The school he chose (a former admission and financial safety) will end up taking just about every penny of X and he is fine with that. We feel very lucky that he did not choose one of the higher ranked pricy no money admissions solely for the name, we probably would have felt obligated to at least help with loans.
