There are 188 NAIA schools with outdoor men’s track. You can further refine the list by major and such here: NAIA Member Schools - NAIA

Then, you would have to look up their COA to see if you can get within your budget of $60K.

Many NAIA schools are Christian schools and as a group tend to have relatively low enrollments (1,400 on average.) Additionally many NAIA schools aren’t really known for their rigorous academics (of course one can still receive a solid education anywhere.) When evaluating NAIA schools I would also do a deep dive into their financial situation, many are in precarious spots from a cash flow and/or endowment perspective.

Would Jesuit schools be ok (yes I know still Christian)? If so, maybe Loyola New Orleans?

Any ideas @politeperson?

and are hoping he wouldn’t need to take more than 40k in loans.

Your S will only be able to take out $27K in the Fed direct student loans over 4 years of undergrad. Any loan amounts beyond that will be on the parents, either directly or as a co-signer.
