Well…add the $5500 Direct Loan and money from a job…and even those schools would be covered.
If this OOS school is unaffordable with a net cost of $5000 (I’m adding the $5500 Direct Loan to the $70,000 of free money), then maybe this student needs to take a gap year and apply to places where they could get a full ride merit award.
Or is there an instate public to which this student can commute?
Re: Dartmouth and Haverford…are those Direct billable costs with the cheapest meal plan and housing?
