Good luck, @Kentmtmom. Try negotiating. It can’t hurt. Start with FinAid office, and go from there.

And remember that in-state with a BFA is a good option. There are so many enhancement programs you can do, as well. Not just pricey summer long programs, though these may be an option too. You can do summer theatre, eg summer stock or internships. And you can take classes for specific skills, like acting on camera (usually many levels), Shakespeare/classical, improv, combat, voiceover, etc etc. These classes are offered by casting agents, theatres, improv programs, and theatre schools. There are so many excellent classes offered all over–many actors take these ongoing throughout their careers, and many students take them post-grad. Your D could take them in the summer to enhance her BFA if she wanted. Look up the in-state city/town and see what there is nearby. The theatre department at the instate university may also help with suggestions.
