I am so sorry for you your loss. Please be aware that you are in the position to explain your situation to the financial aid office of your child’s top choice school if your child does not receive an acceptable level of financial aid. Last year a friend was in a similar situation and financial aid packages varied wildly with the most generous sensitive to the extenuating circumstances. My friend was able to negoitiate a very generous aid package at an IVY once the offers were in. Best of Luck to you.
