<p>Be sure NOT to focus on the total amount of the endowment fund, but to the average FA award. The reach schools have large endowments that rival most smaller schools, but if you aren’t accepted, it doesn’t matter. Find a school that you love and that will love your kid! If they love your kid, they’ll find the $ you need.</p>
