This isn’t news…it’s been in the pipeline for over a year…advance notice.
The vast majority of colleges have never “matched aid” from one year to the next. Every year, for need based aid, students apply again. But this change to not dividing the EFC amongst siblings all n college together has the potential to affect aid like a Pell Grant. No one knows what the Profile schools will do in terms of institutional need based aid, but in the past, they have done what the FAFSA changes have been. It’s a stay tuned situation.
You sound like you have some good options that are affordable. Michigan is costly…but wait and see. And do run that net price calculator.
