Twoinanddone, the first year my DS is in college my DD will be in her senior year in college so the financial aid may be favorable. However, once we are down to one in college (my athlete), the cost at a “no merit” school will be out of our league. I have heard that some D3 schools figure out how to “sweeten the pot” for students who would otherwise not qualify for need-based aid. Is this true? And, is there a way to figure this out before applying ED? Incidentally, my son is only a junior in high school so we have time to figure this out. However, I don’t even want to spend money on prospect camps if the school is not financially feasible for our family.
