*mom, I don’t know the specifics, but I doubt that they are full pay considering the cost and what I know about her friend.

This student may have somehow snagged a rare large merit scholarship or talent award (what is the major…male or female)? But since that would be an exception, and certainly not the rule, an OOS student with a lot of need should not expect much/any help from UIUC…or even expect much/any merit.

Again, UIUC is lousy with awards for instate students as well…merit or need-based.

There’s a reason why there are a large number of Illinois students attending my kids’ flagship…they can get good merit scholarships and their remaining cost is lower than UIUC.

Nihility…maybe for HYPS…and that’s a big maybe…but for the rest of the top 10, a student without a sib in college isn’t likely going to get ANY aid with an income greater than $200k.
