250k is the range at which FA is going to start drying up even at the most generous schools. Still, I do know a few families in that range receiving aid. One with a single kid in college was pleasantly surprised to get aid at all, the other with a second kid in college was gleeful at the amount. Both at highly selective, wealthy schools. That’s only to say that, yes it does sometimes happen in real life. But anecdotes on the internet aren’t really going to change what the NPC says for any particular family. So I’d run the Princeton estimator and see what results you get for your particulars. That’s one of the most generous schools and a pretty simple NPC. If it shows little or no aid you can probably assume you won’t get much need based aid anywhere.
