How do I ask my parents how much they have saved for college????

<p>I have no idea what range of schools you are interested in, but do be aware that some of the highly endowed schools have generous FA for families making what I’d consider to be a lot. Princeton has an online FA calculator. If you might be interested in applying to it or similar schools, I’d ask your parents to run their figures through the calculator to see if they consider it a viable financial option. What a school considers to be your EFC can be different from what the online FA forecasters predict. Sometimes a school will consider your EFC to be much higher, but sometimes it works in your favor.</p>
