@ssdad15, this is our DS’s first year, so we asked him to take out $6K which would be ~10% of his tuition and which he could probably earn the majority of, in a years’ time. He earned $3000 last summer and he applied for internships this summer, which we hope, will probably earn double that this year.
@ssdad15, you need to start talking to financial aid now because they are already readying the packages for the fall. Send an email first, so that you can find out who will be personally working on your loan package and in-house scholarships. Good Luck!
